2012 LFX Clutch won't release - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hi guys, I have a 2012 V6 with 30k miles and recently when I pulled into my house the clutch would not release. It seems to be stuck all the way down with about a few inches of play. Now I can not get the car into any gear due to the clutch won't go down far enough.

Is there anything I can do/check/fix myself before taking it into the shop? It's not drivable now so I will have to have to towed and of course it couldn't happen at a worse time with my money situation, any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks...

Check your slave cylinder for leak, may be the seal is broken. I hope the clutch is still good. 30k is too soon for clutch replacement.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll have to google /you tube how to do this. I'm not very mechanically inclined so hopefully I'll find something

I would agree too that at 30k miles the clutch going out shouldn't be (hopefully) the issue.
