Sticking clutch
I had the sticking clutch pedal problem. Wanted to pass on that dealer replaced clutch/flywheel/slaves under warranty. No more apparent problems. If you have this problem, chevy issued a bulletin on it and is now recognizing (apparently) that replacing the clutch is an integral part of the fix too.

Re: Sticking clutch (MikeNMaxZO6)
I had all this done at about 25000 mi. They said my clutch looked like it had been thru hell....hot spots all over it! I told them I didn't drag or abuse my car, which I had not. It was either the young kid who owned the Z06 before me not knowing how to drive a stick, or the clutch was bad to begin with, which we know is true because of the total replacement under warranty. I had noticed a vibration as I got into the upper revs going thru gears...just thought it was normal engine vibes. After new clutch install, engine was smooth as silk in upper rev range.

Re: Sticking clutch (FST NUF)
I just put a Spec 3 in mine but the clutch itself looked good. My pedal was sticking when I ran it hard. Turned out the throwout bearing was broken.
