Check this thread out re: RAM Clutch pedal adjuster Can't say enough good things about it. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=411141

Yeah. Just the pedal assembly, not the master cylinder.

Yeah, for me the clutch just didn't feel liner at all, and this TSB fixed it. I can shift way smoother than before. Let us know what you think afterwards

And the clutch Assembly came with our car has two return spring, one on each side of the pedal, they are just weak. It will do a 1/4 travel just by pressing with my finger.

It looks like two but is actually one.

Band-aid fix. Just wait til the ridiculous plastic bearing support in the clutch slave fails. Spring will not help you there. Mine failed at 130 mph at the end of a half mile straight, lucky for me I installed a separate clutch resisvour and I did not lose my brakes.

F'n dealerships. I swear on my children if GM ever starts selling cars direct online and finds a way to let me pick independent mechanics or will ship me the parts to do my own warranty work ... I'm there.

Called my local shithole and they neither have the TSB part in stock, and are refusing to order it until I can bring the car to them and they can "verify" that my car is affected. I told them that they know my VIN (its on file), can't they "verify" right now? "No, we need to see it in person." I explained that the problem is intermittent, "We still need the car here in front of us." And you can't pre-order the part(s) so that I don't have to leave my car there for multiple days? No.

Why? Why is this so hard? Why do they have to **** with you so badly? Is this some sort of fun game they like to play with people? I took off next Thursday to get this TSB done, get an inspection done, and then run a number of errands I've been pushing off for a few months. Now they're going to have my car all day and into the next, so there goes all the other errands I wanted to run. ****wad bullshit asswipes. Why can't any dealership anywhere hire people with a modicum of either common sense or customer service.

This is the same place that, a few months after taking delivery of my car, told me I have to get my car there myself when the battery died completely. They are literally 1.9 miles down the road from me, on the same road I live on. They wouldn't come with a jumper box or set of cables, I was on my own. Not that this is any worse than any other dealership experience than I've ever had before with any manufacturer.

I hate dealerships. I hate dealerships. I hate dealerships. I hate dealerships. They all need to go away. Go away. I hate dealerships. Hate them. Hate them. Go away. Assholes.

I take that back. I had nothing but an amazing experience at Rodgers Chevrolet in Woodhaven, MI (Becky made that happen of course). Everyone else needs to go away go away go away go away. I hate dealerships other than Rodgers. I hate dealerships other than Rodgers.

Im sorry to hear that man, some dealerships are horrible. I tried multiple dealerships, finally found one that im happy with, all you need is a great service manager and one knowledgeable tech. Maybe try another dealer down the road.

Which separate clutch resisvour did you go for? Do you have the part # for it. Sounds pretty terrifying, probably should get one just in case.

This is the best dealership in the area. Every other Chevy dealership within 20 miles of me gets less than 3 stars on Google reviews and has horror stories related to both sales and service.
