clutch problem ?
I have an 03 z06 and today the car broke. I was going into 2nd from 1st at about 30 mph car went into 2nd and I heard a noise maybe a snap sound. Pulled over and car will no longer go into gears. the clutch feels a little loose but it has some clutch pedal at the end. But not enough to shift gears.
car has less than 300 miles on it nay ideas what the problem is.

Re: clutch problem ? (03QuicksilverZ06)
not sure yet it is at the dealer now. I will no more tomorrow. The dealer did say this is the first they have seen with this amount of miles to have tranny problems. But they wont know til they crack it open tomorow. I will post back on this. crack it open was the dealers term, not mine. I dont like the thought of cracking it open on a $50,000 car :lol:
later :cheers:

I'm thinking that the slave cylinder gave up the ghost. Let us know what they find.

Re: clutch problem ? (golfman)
:confused: ALIGNMENT :confused:
Sounds bogus to me.
There is a clutch alignment tool used during assembly, however, if it's not done correctly, you won't be able to push the drive shaft through so that it mates with the pilot bearing. As far as I know once that's done everything is aligned...
Glad you got it fixed. Hopefully someone will jump in here and correct me if I'm wrong but, I don't buy what the dealer told you. If that's the case, I'd have reservations about returning my car to that dealer for future work.
:cheers:
