Clutch issues help?
So I was out last night and pulled on to the freeway in second, traffic was flowing so I jumped on it and let her rip 
then as soon as I went to grab third I noticed I had almost no pedal left. I was able to get third and it locked up but my pedal was way down, after I let off and began cruising the pedal slowly began to rise again....???? any insight?

Jeremy Formato wrote an article on this also. I think it was titled something like "extending clutch life."
Basically, clean out the bell housing, and change the fluid to start.
Here it is, I found it:

So , I did the Ranger method and cleaned what I could but within five pumps of the clutch the fluid was metallic black again. End result it got two shifts instead of one before clutch lost half it throw...AHHH this sucks...if there's no other option then, who's selling LS7 clutch kits on a discount, preferably cheaper then my shops discount with the Chevy Dealer?
