Default Clutch fluid boiling?

When I take my Cobra out for a good drive (1 hr, 75 degree ambient temp), I notice that if I get off the fwy and into traffic, where water temps hits 100 C, the clutch gets a 'rub' feel close to the floor. I can also sometimes hear it, as a rub, not squeal. My pilot bushing was replaced recently. It only happens when I'm up to a 'good' temp.

The clucth fluid is indeed getting tinted, so I believe the fluid and/or hose is degrading due to heat, but what about the feel?

Does my description sound like the fluid could be boiling?

Clutch adjustment?
