Default Wilwood Clutch Master failure at 2000 miles

Well it looks like the clutch master (wilwood) failed. The cool thing is it didn't just fail outright, which would have been a simple, cheap fix. It actually halfway failed, every once in a while. The piston binded on occation not allowing the full weight of the pressure plate to release (think small slippage under load) not enought to be noticed but enough to create a ton of heat. Endstate: cluth, pressure plate, T/O bearing, flywheel, and the damn clutch master replaced. A $hitload of money for a part that failed VERY early for a new piece.
