I want a new clutch, you too????? Sign here - Page 27 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

After reading this, I now believe my issues aren't "Operator error." I am one of the last people on here to think about walking away from this car. But I am very disappointed with what happened after roughly 8600 miles. I have been driving manual transmission equipped vehicles for well over 40 some years.

Will post up in the thread noted below what I find out from my dealer after I pick "Rosie" up.

Had some problems pop up with Rosie's clutch this past Monday:

I recently purchased a certified 2010 2SS M6. Sept 2

I took it in last week, because when I started it up in the morning the clutch was sticking about 1" off of the floor. Normally the full range of the clutch was pretty high, it was coming up about 1/4 of the usual.

So I took it in, they replaced the actuator, said it was faulty, ordered a new one and replaced it again. I could definitely tell the difference in the clutch, it was much smoother, easier to engage.

I got it back late last week, had no problems this weekend. But this morning I wake up to go to work and its sticking again :(

They are currently trying to see what's going on, but I'm just hoping they won't tell me there is nothing wrong. It's definitely not the TSB involving lauch control.

best fix is a good aftermarket clutch....unfortunately. Lots of good representation here.....Hendrix/streetslayer, Mcleod, Monster, ACT etc...

Good Luck!

Tried aftermarket clutch still had it. Best fix separate master cylinder & reservoir for clutch but expensive

You should look up idealg master cylinder . It flows more fluid and disengaged the clutch more so everything is a lot smoother

So the moral of the story is that none of you have had any luck getting the Pressure Plate and Clutch Disk replaced? I've fought my dealership hard on this and they won't fix it. Now I'm out of my bumper-to-bumper and stuck with this clutch until I can buy an after market one. Just wondering if anyone found a manufacturers letter about this problem
