Default clutch question

What are some of the symptoms of air in the clutch lines? will the effort in the pedal change under hard acceleration? my pedal is lower to the floor and the pedal effort is about 5 times harder then normal then returns to normal after i pump the pedal once or twice. please input is needed. i am getting frustrated with this problem this season, next thing is going auto..

I just got finished correcting a problem with my Z06 unit. If there is air in the lines the clutch will not disengage correctly. I think the pedal will feel close to the same. My problem was the pressure plate was not tightening down. My pedal also released closer to the floor. To look at the pressure plate the bolts looked tight but when you put a wrench to it there were loose. As soon as they were tighten up. All was good. Pedal releases up at the top. Might not help you but thought I would share. Good luck.
