Because the clutch uses a CSC (rather than a fork) the system is entirely hydraulic. I haven't pulled it apart but I imagine the CSC assembly contains a return spring so that the fluid is pushed back out of the assembly and force returned to the master cylinder. So if you are overheating the CSC you may be fatiguing the spring, or you have a defective CSC. In the interest of cheapness, the CSC body is mostly plastic and so isn't the most durable piece in the vehicle. Like Spearfish I haven't encountered this on the track yet, even in high heat.
