Default I have a problem, please help !

OK I know this isn't directly FI related but it's for an FI car . Plus I went through the descriptions of every forum and I couldn't see where this would go. Maybe tech, but I never get any responses there. So sorry about being in this section but I know I can get helpful responses from the smart people here so I would really appreciate some help!

Here is my problem:

My new spec stage 3 clutch starts slipping, but goes back to normal if I let the pressure out of the system by simply opening the nut on the hardline at the clutch damper, #20 in the diagram, http://www.acuraparts247.com/s...ch=no
after 70-100 miles it will start slipping again, i will open and close the nut on the line at the damper again, and it will be fine again. leads me to beleive there is a leak and air is getting into the system somehow or the fluid is not going into the master/slave or there is some excess hydraulic pressure ? I am thinking of replacing the master cyl #6, slave cyl #8, the clutch hose #15, and also that damper #20 in the clutch hydraulic system parts diagram linked above. Do you think replacing all of these would definitely eliminate the issue?

I am thinking instead of buying a new oem damper and oem clutch hose, to get the hose in stainless braided line, and the damper why not just eliminate it with a stainless braided hose/pipe or stainless fitting where the in and out holes of the damper used to be. Should work fine and cheaper than the damper, and I don't see any other cars with clutch dampers, so it must be a luxury thing, maybe I will get better performance or more feedback in the clutch?

Let me know what you guys think. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
