Anyone ever experience this? I have read it can cause clutch chatter as well like what I was experiencing. I bought an sve as clutch line and I'm thinking about heat wrapping it. Anyone ever done this before?

If you still have the stock plastic clutch hydraulic line, get rid of it and replace it with a braided stainless steel unit. Heat soak shouldn't be an issue unless you have long tube headers where the pipes can run in close enough proximity to transfer heat. In that case, you could wrap the clutch line with a heat shield sleeve such as this:

The main issue that was found by the LS guys years ago when they first started with the stainless line was at high RPMs, the line would collapse and not allow proper engagement and disengagement.
