A few weeks ago I got stuck in some serious traffic leaving an event, and spent 45 min - 1 hr idling/moving a few feet at a time. Once I got out on the street I noticed it was extremely difficult to put into gear, especially 3rd, and felt like I was moving the shifter through cold molasses. We parked to get something to eat and when we got back on the road it was back to normal. Additionally, both times I've taken it to the track (before and after this incident) the clutch pedal has stuck to the floor after every run. My questions are -
Is the clutch system integrated into the braking system in this car? I want to change the fluid out for some high temp stuff, but if it's all integrated, I want to do line lock and SS brake lines at the same time.
When changing the fluid in the trans, is there better/high temp stuff I can put in there too? Overheating/frying the fluid due to extended idling or stop-and-go is not something I can have in a Houston DD. We aren't exactly known for good traffic.
Car has an MGW shifter in it. Oh, and the trans sounds like a blower and has since the day I bought it at 3k miles. It now has 7k. Not sure if that's relevant.
