I am still leaking fluid from somewhere. Even after the slave was replaced last Thursday the clutch never went back to shifting smoothly. It still never fully disengages. I guess its time to start troubleshooting... Not my favorite part of working on cars. I am still finding small pools of what looks like Dot3 on the garage floor. However it doesn't seem that the fluid level is dropping in the reservoir.

Matt,

When you checked the input shaft splines for straightness was it by eyeball? I ask because a slightly twisted input shaft would cause what you are experiencing and they have twisted or snapped at less power than you are putting down.

The car is running ridiculously rich. At first it was intermittently now it seems as if its all the time.. I thought it may have been an o2 sensor problem but I don't think it is. I replaced them this morning. The car idles perfect but cruising wot or deceleration its almost always in the low 10s on the wide-band. I'm freaking stumped. I need help.

Where is the O2 sensor in relation to the exhaust headers? The problem with turbos is the O2's don't get hot enough and the computer commands increasing fuel %. That's why a lot of guys run open loop all the time. Mine is setup in open loop most of the time and I have my O2's mounted right at the exhaust of the turbo's.

O2 sensors are right off the manifolds. I dont know what lito is commanding. It is so rich that it sputters. This car pisses me off more and more each day.
