I got rid of my sticky clutch by
1. replacing the slave with a 2002- present.
2.do the drill mod
3. used high temp fluid
4. wrapped the slave with headerheat wrap.

After all that the clutch never stuck again.

some must be luckier then others. I did the following w/ no help:

1. Wrapped master to slave line in high temp tape then slit a -8AN braided line and slid it over the line.
2. Put a z06 slave in
3. Put a z06 master in
4. bled system fully
5. Flushed system completely w/ High temp MOTUL racing fluid.
6. Did the drill mod

None got rid of the problem. Its in the clutch/pressure plate somewhere in my instance.
