So, this solenoid is actually base on the effectiveness of current available in the system to energize magnetic coil for solenoid. and when it gets hot, the coil will not work at its best, solenoid will take a little bit of time to open, causing a delay in releasing the hydraulic pressure  though the throttle reading has already needs the clutch to be release. and by that time, we have already push the gas pedal a bit deeper, boom! the clutch suddenly release full open....well, thats my theory..so....in everybody opinion - the battery first or both in one shot?- - - Updated - - -nice...its been awhile...almost decided to sell mine though as im getting more and more afraid to take it out. come bad traffic, my face turn pale, especially when it is hot out side. give it 15 minutes, and it feel like riding a bull. forgot the last time i changed the seal, clutch wasnt changed. no visible leakage to say that the clutch actuator went south.gonna give it a last shot for clutch disc and a new battery.well theoretically, as infinityKL said in one of the post that he changed the battery and suddenly the SMG works better. here's the theory - the hydraulic pressure will only be released to clutch actuator/tank once solenoid valve open. its kinda like bit by bit very fast, especially on releasing the clutch where the positioning the clutch is been done by the EGS.
