Default Sticky Clutch in Zip 32179

2002, 6 speed, 69250 miles. Starting on the afternoon of the November 12 I noticed the difficulties in changing gears. In the a.m. after starting it is hard to get into gear. Once car is warm it goes into gears with a little extra effort. What is the estimated cost of repair labor and parts. How long will the vette be out of commission.

Replacing the clutch will cost you upwards of $1500. It's a 10-12 hour job, so I would expect the car to be out of commission for at-least a couple days.

If you don't have a Corvette mechanic already, call Rick Kim of RKT Performance with your questions. I won't let anyone else work on my car.
