Default 2003 Z06 Clutch Noises

First Of All, I Would Like To Greet Everybody A Wonderful Night. Does Anybody Having Any Problem With Their 03 Zo6. My Problem Is That Whenever I Engage The Clutch And Turn Off The Engine I Don't Hear Any Clanging Sound Underneath The Car. When I Turn Off The Engine With The Clutch Disengage, It Makes An Awful Clanging Sound. Does This Mean That My Release Bearings Is Out? THE DEALER SAYS THAT ITS NORMAL FOR THE Z06 TO DO THAT. IS THIS TRUE? Please Help. Could Use Any Experience With This Problem. Thanx Everybody....

I think its normal for all 6 speed cars from what I have read. My 04' coupe with 2900 miles on it does this as well...

Normal, just push in the clutch when shutting off the car, it will become 2nd nature after a while.

Mine does it too. Just keep the clutch in when you shut it off

If mine didn't make all that noise, I would think something was wrong

"Completely Normal"
