Sticky clutch....
I have been having an issue where my clutch sticks halfway down when I first start her up. If I pull it up with my foot it then works fine and no issues. It only occurs if she was sitting for longer than a day. Any suggestions?

Sounds a bit different than the issue I had but perhaps they're related. I found out from my buddy who's the service manager that there's a TSB for the clutch pedal. Mine was sometimes sticking halfway down after clutch engagement and not returning back. Usually when the car was cold. The fix is to replace the pedal entirely with the one from the ZL1 and even has the cool pedal cover with it. It was covered on mine but I was still in warranty.

Sounds like the clutch master cylinder is going bad. It's a pretty cheap fix, or at least it was on the 4th gen

I wonder if this is the fix for my sticky pedal, except that it won't budge if I pull on it. It just fixed on its own eventually with a pressure releasing noise and popped up, and the other time after pushing it in a couple times it came out properly. |

A separate clutch reservoir might help and frequent changing of the fluid. I use a Holden clutch reservoir I purchased form DIYgen5 .... and frequently change out the fluid with a syphon bulb.

Here is an extensive thread on the issue. It could be as simple as a reservoir cap, or a new clutch, which was my issue.http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=384247
