Mike, the pedal pressure seems to be fine and yes, it does return all the way. It never gets mushy. I never had fluid heating problems before the clutch replacement and I also rerouted the hydraulic line over the foot box and completely out of the way of the exhaust system. I pulled the boot off of the master cylinder pedal rod and there was no fluid present. I did destroy the o-ring in the slave cylinder when I filled the system with DOT 5 fluid (there was lots of brake fluid present behind the boot on the slave) so I replaced it with a new one. I checked it last night and there is no fluid at the slave. There is no fluid leaking from the system as the level has not dropped for months. I wish it was something as simple as replacing a part, I just can't find anything to replace.
