Angry Clutch Pedal slow to come up

This has happened to me in my 05 6MT coupe and my 07 6MT sedan. If I decide to jump on my car, especially at a stop light (burn out), 9/10 times, my clutch pedal stays on the ground and slowly comes up. This prevents me from slamming the car into 2nd gear.

I have read through some postings and found references to dirty clutch fluid and something about a restrictor.

My car only has 27K miles and the fluid is CLEAN. Is there a restrictor in the clutch line that prevents the fluid from coming back up quickly? If so, is here a way to mod or eliminate this?

In my previous Mustang life, I LOVED burning 1st, dropping into 2nd, spinning through 3rd. I miss that in my G. Makes me think I should have bought an auto paddle shifted G.

No it's called you are "chasing the clutch". The clutch line is rubber so being that it gets hot your car is chasing the clutch...the hot fluid expands the line. Switch over to a stainless steel clutch line and that will solve your problem
