Want to know the problem with the manual camaro's "sticking" clutch problem? The answer is easy:

There is none!

This same exact problem has been going on since 1997. The problem is simple. The hydraulics in the clutch just plain sucks. This problem is NOT new. It has been going on since the beginning of the ls1, and still plagues the GM community today. You can try fixing it by installing larger master cylinders/different slaves/shimming the slaves/religiously changing the fluid, I even saw one guy wrap every hydraulic line to help insulate it from heat soak.

You can try any of the following. It's hit/miss. The problem isn't new. Now quit making threads/complaining about it. If you didn't know about the issue, you obviously didn't do your homework on the vehicle that you bought.
