Chill out man no need to be a baby....if you arent getting the answer you are wanting you can hit search and look through the forum for it.

1. Dont use launch control. Its stupid and does more damage than good if you are actually trying to launch your car the right way. I assume you arent a racer and are just doing this for fun or show off purposes which is fine but you are at risk for killing your clutch or snapping an axle.

2. This issue is more than common and has been for years on LSX cars.

If you have been driving for more than a few miles or so you can pretty much assume the brake/clutch fluid is at boiling temp. The lines run around the tranny which is the cause. When the fluid is that hot it gets gummy congeals and doesnt work as well. Many people add a seperate resevoir and higher DOT level fluid which can help but isnt a permanent fix. I saw on another members car where the fluid was so hot through the added line that the paint the hose was touching in the eingine comparment was bubbling up.

You can also get a relocation kit for the lines which is highly recommended if you really plan on launching a lot and possibly racing the car.

Take the time to look all over the forums though. This is one of the most common issues with the 6M cars since before the 5th Gen Camaro came out. GM for some reason chooses to overlook it year after year.
