clutch pedal went to shit

So while driving in the freeway yesterday I felt the clutch pedal having a small grinding feeling like medal to medal. It stuck down about 3 times and I had to pull it back up with my feets. Now this morning I go and try to accelerate at a normal rate and boom the clutch pedal falls to the floor and there is no pressure. I pick it up with my hands and it swings back down. I got it towed it to the dealer but I did notice a small amount of fluid on the road when he moved the car. It looked like it was green and it was fresh, what could be wrong with the car? It has a new max corvette clutch and I dont drive it like I stole it.????

Unfortunately this is a common issue with our camaros - it's due to the clutch reservoir sharing fluid with the brakes. There a couple of fixes. You could install a separate clutch fluid reservoir, or install one of Lingenfelter's "clutch pedal return spring" kits (link below).

But it has no return pressure what so ever. The clutch pedal is just falling when I pick it up with my hands

My apologies - I misunderstood your issue.

That sounds like you have a leak in one of the clutch lines.

So the issue was a damaged slave cylinder and $1400 dollars in cost since it doesn't have a stock clutch from GM. The part only cost 200 and labor was 1200. If this happens to you just put it in your garage and do it yourself. Wish I would have done that.SMH

My sons 2011SS had the same issue, it was the Clutch Slave Cylinder. It was replaced under warranty along with the clutch which was ruined.
