Default help with clutch issues

Hey , I recently got my '05 moonrock grey , and to help diagnose I'll clue you in on what I previously done before hand as more often than not , the cause is in there ! , because I recently got her I wanted to flush all the liquids , engine, diff, gearbox, brakes , the good stuff , while I was there I wanted to remove the clutch delay valve as we have a track day this weekend , got rid and bled the system through and replaced fluid there as well , car was driving like new ! For two days in fact , then I jump in last night and the clutch is slipping terribly , I've had clutches go on me and it should start a lot more gradually than this , one minute it was perfect and the next it feels next to gone ! Can Anyone please shed some light on possible causes/solutions ? All help is more than appreciated and I gave today to work on the car
Thanks

Were you doing clutch dumps or hard launches? Did you get any burnt clutch smell? That'll make it go quickly. Regardless, you still have to replace it.

Maybe it's because it's Moonrock grey. The Sebrings and silverstones don't have that issue.
