After 19000 pampered miles my slave cylinder is leaking and I have no clutch on my Z06. What kind of engineering crap is chevrolet trying to pass on to us. When you pay more than 50 grand for a car you would expect better engineering. After reading up on this it looks like clutch problems are a common thing. The dealership just told me no warranty because it is more than 3 years old. I still cant believe that chevrolet doesn't care enough about its customers to engineer a fix for these clutch problems. Having to change your clutch fluid all the time because of clutch dust accumulation is just redicoulous for a car of this caliber. I was really looking forward to upgrading to a C6 but now Im leaning towards another Porsche.
Just remember that its just like any other car. Things will fail on them, if you don't want your z06 i am sure someone else will buy it.
Go get it fixed and enjoy your car. And don't pay any attention to the negative comments

I've got a pristine 1986 Nissan 300ZX Turbo sitting in storage with 49,000 original miles that did the same thing after about 15 years. Maybe I should threaten to buy one of those greenie weenie plug in cars.

The guy who recently sold me his C5, bought a newer C6Z and before it was delivered to him, the slave cylinder went out. Is there a problem with the slave cylinders? Maybe just a coincidence, or maybe they have a problem.
