No, the high-temp fluid is to prevent the fluid from boiling. The cheap DOT-3 fluid they put into the clutch system is easily boiled especially given how close the clutch line runs to the exhaust (there is a small piece of insulation) and the heat from the clutch etc.

The #1 reason for the sunken clutch is boiled fluid, creating air pockets.

The #2 reason is failed CSC (leaking fluids, empty reservoir).

The #3 reason is failed Master.
