Clutch Problem

My car is Backdraft 818 with a Roush SRTW 427 engine and TKO 600 transmission. When the car is cold the clutch disengages perfectly. When it is hot it will not completely disengage and it is hard to get it into reverse. It will go into the forward gears when hot but not easily as when it is first started. I flush the clutch regularly and as far as I can tell clutch travel on the slave cylinder is adjusted properly. Any thoughts on what else I could check?

I just went through similar issues with another BD. It was the slave cylinder and clutch adjustment. That is where I would start. After that, the TKO 600 transmission shift fork nylon inserts can be the a problem as well. They are not hard to change, but it may require the transmission coming out on the BD. I would go in this order, adjust clutch, then slave cylinder, and then trans.
