Just an update: so far, the clutch line and fluid change has worked.
A bunch of disgusting black sludge was inside the slave cylinder when I changed the fluid out, which was also very dark. This is @ 30k on the odo. Not sure the cause for that, but I'm sure that thick goo wasn't helping matters.
I've had to use the turkey baster trick to change out fluid from the clutch reservoir because it seems like it's getting more of the junk out of the slave. Basically, I just took it out and refilled it with new fluid. Drive around for a few days so it mixes in, then repeat until it's all clean.
