I avoided the issue by installing the Southbend singe mass flywheel (... and now just ignore the gear chatter). Anyway, it would be worth a phone call or chat with Z Speed.

2. If you're going to all the work of changing the clutch system, I'd recommended contacting Ryan at RJM Performance and moving from the OEM CMC to to the Tilton HD CMC. It will make the system bullet-proof.
Unfortunately, the Tilton is not "bulletproof" as I had one fail on me a few years back. I had planned on purchasing a replacement but Joe (ZSpeed pre-retirement) advised me to go back to stock.

OP, back to your issues, I'd recommend replacing the black hose that the CMC uses with one of the clear hoses that Mike Upton sells if you have to mess with the CMC again. The black one breaks down and contaminates the fluid, reducing the life of the CMC.
