A little history,
When I bought this car it had a bad throwout bearing. I fixed at, put in a used 25k mile stock clutch from a buddies car in it with a re surfaced flywheel and a GM slave. If you ran the car hard through the gears the clutch would stick on the floor in 3rd/4th. So I put a Tick master in the car, was ok for a while......after this last track event when you leave a stop light the clutch feels like it hangs up on release, slips as you let the pedal out, then when you shift the pedal is low and hard. Broken pressure plate? Bad slave? I bled the system, didn't help. What is a good stock replacement clutch? Don't need a flywheel, this one has less than 2500 miles since it was turned. If I am gonna go in there its getting a clutch and slave. Recommendations on a stock replacement clutch? |

I'm guessing you could be boiling the fluid in the clutch lines. I've seen it on the dyno, and it's happened to a few cars under hard use. I'd wrap the hydraulic lines in heat shield and see if that works. This is assuming it happens after everything is warm. I hate to run a car hard when it's cold, but if it doesn't do it cold, that's a good indicator that you have this problem.

Started when I got home, does it street driving. let out on the clutch leaving a light and right before the clutch finishes engaging it slips then you let out the pedal and it bites. Shift to second clutch pedal is hard....weird. Wont do it all the time. |

I'd put a real GM LS6 clutch in it - check pricing from Team Chev with free shipping. I've got a NIB C5 TOB for sale, dunno if it fits the Fbod. |
