Please describe what you mean when you state: "also slips when banging gears"

If an 18,000 mile C5 Clutch is slipping, you have some serious issues that are NOT going to be solved easily//or inexpensively.

- What does you clutch fluid look like and is it at the proper level?

- How do you know its slipping
