Interesting MN6 'Issue'

Over the last month, my C6 has begun doing something odd. I'm not sure it is really a problem, but has anyone else seen this?

If the car sits for a day or more, the first time I push in the clutch, it is quite stiff and takes quite a bit of pressure. The next time (and all subsequent times) the pressure required is normal.

Anyway, I'll have it looked at when I get the oil changed this month. Just curious if anyone else has noticed. BTW - my car is about 20 months old.

Not being a wise @ss, but maybe your left leg just loses it's "memory"

The first time it happened, that's what I thought....

I've had my MN6 since February. It sits for a couple of days between driving and I haven't experienced this.

Sounds to me your fluid got a little low and air MAY have gotten into the system.
Let I know what solves the problem.
