Our clutch has now stayed to the floor about 6 times. It is now at a dealership again waiting to be fixed. They looked at it last week and thought that the clutch slave cylinder was leaking because it was obvious that something was. We ordered it and brought the car in Tuesday to have it fixed. GM tells the tech to cut the exhaust to get to the problem!! I said they have to give us a new one then. Luckily the tech took the time to look and found it was 5 bolts to take the exhaust out of the way. They then discover the leak is an oil seapage problem. They fix that and discover that the clutch is burning up from sticking to the floor so much. So they put on the slave cylinder and try to do the clutch but they then also discover that if you replace the clutch you also need to replace the flywheel. The flywheel has blue spots on it from getting so hot. There is a flywheel at a dealership in Naperville,il which I go by every night and could have picked up myself, but they are sending it to another dealership somewhere else in the U.S. I found out there are only 12 dealerships in the country with the flywheel and a lot of dealerships trying to get them. Mine is coming from N.C. with a stop in Missouri. I am still waiting for it. This will probably be the last nice weekend in Chicago and we won't have our car to enjoy it!! Really stinks!!!
