Default People with XTSS

For those who are driving with an ACT XTSS, has anyone had any problems with going into gears?
Every once in a while, especially if I have driven for more than 15 minutes in heavy traffic, my clutch will either not allow me to go into, or out of gear. It seems as if there isn't enough pressure. Maybe temperature related?

I was searching on this issue, and some are saying that upgrading to a stiffer clutch could have these effects, while others are talking about a leaking master or slave cylinder, or that bleeding out the air bubbles would solve this problem.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

For those who are or will experience the problem of not going into gears. I solved the problem by replacing the clutch slave cylinder, which had a tiny crack by the valve. The stock clutch slave cylinder in the 99 accord, and probably in all of the 6th generation is made out of plastic. The new cylinder installed is made of metal and cost me 45 dollars at the Honda dealer.
