Clutch fluid on the ground. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have the stock clutch and have not had any slipping even with my mods so far. I don't race or beat on it so the stock clutch has been working very well. I went to back out of the garage and the pedal stuck to the floor and the car was stuck in gear. I got out and looked under the car and saw brake fluid leaking down from the tranny housing. My separate clutch fluid reservoir is now empty. Does this mean the slave cylinder went bad? If I have to replace it should I go to a better clutch also? Which clutch is a good daily for 700 RWHP.

Unfortunately most likely the slave cylinder let go. I have the Mcleod RXT and love that clutch

Yes I just confirmed it was the slave cylinder. Thanks for the reply.

When replacing the slave, most people upgrade the bearing support to a metal unit that is less likely to fail.

With that type of power, we would recommend our DYAD dual-disc clutch for awesome performance on and off the track. The engagement and pedal pressure is comparable to stock, but handles up to 1300 ft/lbs easily! If you have any questions, feel free to send us a PM!

We keep the Monster Slave Cylinder Bearing Support in stock. I actually had the same thing happen to my car just before PowerTour last year and had to replace the slave and made sure to get the metal upgrade in when I did it so I would not have to worry about it again.
