Default Clutch question

03 z06 with 71k on the stock ls6 clutch. My clutch is engaging really high and has been for awhile now. It’s to the point where it’s getting a little difficult to drive. Fluid is good and no leaks that I can tell. Is there anyway to determine if it’s the clutch or maybe just a slave cylinder? I dont know much about clutches at all so any advice would be appreciated. I plan on getting an ls7 clutch eventually but I wouldn’t mind getting some more miles out of the stocker. Btw it’s not slipping any. Thanks

I agree!! Accomplish the pressure plate fulcrum adjustment and see if that resolves the issue. Its pretty simple once you get the car off the ground access to the clutch through the inspection cover and look at the little adjuster on the pressure plate.

Thanks for the info guys I know nothing about clutches. I will take it to a shop and have a buddy take a look at it on his lift. I guess if I can’t do any adjusting I may be ordering a new clutch soon.
