Not sure yet.....so I cannot say either way, unlike the OP mine is not a sudden onset problem, that will most likely get worse, but a design flaw from day 1....my guess it is the master not moving enough fluid when hot. I have 6 more track days before I am tearing it all out, hope it lasts.......

Yup I'm familiar with it, sounds like you got a great solution from Steve. Hopefully mine is just a bearing issue and I wont end up with an entire clutch replacement. I haven't looked into it other than noticing the pedal feedback is rough, so I'm not 100% sure of the damage yet. I will, however, upgrade a few things if I'm going to be taking it apart. Whatever the issue may be, I know I won't bother with taking it to the dealer and will be doing the work myself. Wish I had a dealer that was as friendly as yours.

It's more than likely that its just the bearing that needs to be replaced, however you can only get a new release bearing by purchasing the entire slave. Also the stock plastic bearing support needs to be thrown in the trash, and replaced with billet steel. |

No, but i have a 500 (at 300 today) mile city driving break in period so no hard driving. I have however been letting the rear end slide around as i need to burn off what's left of my tires so i can get my new tires for COTA installed. I have stepped on it getting on the FRWY and the point where my old clutch would fade away is no longer happening. Im quite confident in Steve's clutch.

Forget GM customer service all they will tell you is bring the car to the dealership which in turn will tell you "its not covered under warranty blah blah blah not our fault we found evidence of abuse please give us all your money" Ive had so many problems now (gear grinding, clutch not disengaging fully, clutch vibrations, ) ive stopped driving my 1le in total just from pure disappointment.

I think for those who visit the track often, you'll probably want to eventually replace the entire clutch with a more solid unit that can take more heat and won't slip. Having a heavy-duty clutch in this car should have been mandatory. They beefed up most other parts, I fail to understand why they cheaped out on the clutch... Hopefully the next gen 1LE does not have this issue. I plan to replace the entire unit if and when it starts to fail.

Haven't drove the car in a week since the last track day. Has a nice whir sound to it on cold start up. The feel has smoothed out a bit but I can only image that's because it's slowley grinding itself to death. Clutch still holds but for how much longer is anyone's guess. It will probably be a bit before I get it apart and really asses the damage.
The car really took a beating this last event, needs new tires, new pads, and new clutch. So much for the headers I was planning on! Lol
