So my 2001 corvette (base model) was used by someone else and when i got it back the clutch pedal was all the way to the floor and wouldn't spring back. I checked the fluid level on the reservoir and it was very low. I then added dot 3 fluid (full synthetic) and i tried pumping the clutch and nothing. the only thing i did notice was a leak in the bottom (clutch fluid) clutch and slave were done in january so can it be the master cylinder which was not replaced? please help.

When I drive in traffic and kept my foot on the clutch pedal this happens. I just stick my toe under to pry it back up. Not sure if this is your issue.

hopefully it is the master, (just bought one) . i don't have tons of money to pay for a new slave cylinder job. the pedal gets stuck and has no resistance and won't come up. will find out tomorrow if indeed it is the master. hope you are right

Hope you purchased the Tick performance Clutch master and not the GM factory one , if so the same thing will happen down the road, the GM product is terrible , read all the reviews , everyone uses the Tick one and shifting is night and day difference!

Get a tick bleeder as well. Way easier to bleed off any air. My vette has one and I bleed it every so often to get any air out. I did have this problem on my 2011 jetta TDI as well and it was the slave. But same thing I bled the air out and it worked enough to get it into my buddies shop.
