Default Clutch woos shifting problems

How many miles should you get out of a stock Z06 clutch that is not tracked and not driven hard. I have a little over 84000 and have a problem shifting sometimes not all of the time. Clutch seems to travel out the same amount before it starts to catch but shift is sometime diffcult between 1 and 2nd and 3rd and 4th any suggestions. Stock shifter no mods on car. Could this be the throw out bearning?

When was the last time you changed the clutch fluid?

Try and get the entire system flushed out. If you still are having problems likely it is time to tear into the clutch. Once you have done that you should go ahead and put all new parts in. I would recommend the LS7 assembly. You got a lot out of the stock clutch so it may just be time to replace it!

Good Luck

Thinks for the response, stopping on the way home tonight and picking up a large can of DOT4.
