I'll be interested in the replies to this post. This is usually described as 'flaring'. I've experienced the same problem on mine, and seem to have mostly eliminated it with an adjustment to the Bowden Cable. I've backed out the adjustments I made to the vacuum amplifier and modulator, because they didn't help. I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the Bowden Cable adjustment just hides a wear issue, but I'm encouraged with the result so far. I switched to synthetic ATF 2,000 miles ago, and hope that makes a little difference.
