clutch overheating

hefMember

I have a problem that is strange enough to, I hope get some technical creativity going.

I have a '73, that I have completely restored, soup to nuts with the help of Guy and Gregory Trigaux. The engine is a completely rebuilt Cleveland running about 400 hp on the dyno. New master cylinders and hydraulic lines, no air in the system, and the clutch has been adjusted by pros.

Here's the problem, when the car is cold, it shifts beautifully, when it gets hot, about an hour or so,the clutch won't release properly, to the point you can't shift the transmission.

This car has the clutch pressure reduction setup. Any ideas?
