Well I don't figure it would be contamination on the plates, since it was working for a couple months or so after the job, and I remember the issue going straight from not existing, to immediately existing.
If it were a line or cylinder partly plugged up, the constant tension pushing the bearing back to the plates would eventually cause whatever great it was in to stop slipping as the clutch fluid would slowly move back past, wouldn't it? The ease of slipping didn't seem to change based on how long it was in the gear for.
