Clutch :)

I know you guys don't want another clutch thread but I was coming home tonight, and there is an intersection right before my street that I can burnout on.

So I had T/C off revved it to about 3k and let off the clutch. Nothing. it strated to go then I realized the clutch was barely off the floor. So I get home grab my son and we had back out to this intersection. I revved it to about 2k this time and let off and it spun them like normal(even got sideways a bit).

We then are about to get on the highway, and i rev it up a little and spin them going around a trun, as soon as I was turning I nailed it and I spun them up to about 4k.

I was like this ain't right(the clutch not working then working).

So just thought I would share. I am going to drive the next couple of days and see how it goes. If GM doesn't want to fix it that's fine, I will just buy a better and beefer clutch.

That is all.

Clutch slave cylinder is bad, or possibly diaphragm issue. You will need to get this replaced - under warranty.

I've seen a few other threads, in the recent past, with this problem.

Yes, buy an aftermarket clutch and void your warranty, or buy a different car. GM has no interest in fixing this issue (which many of us here have).
