Default Clutch fluid problem
The fluid in the clutch container of my car (05 C6) is going down slowley, about 1/4 inch in six months. Should I just add to it or take it to the dealer to be fixed. I don't see any drips on the floor.
Thanks.

this is normal. as the clutch wears, the difference is taken up by the fluid. cranky

I have about 1500 miles on my vette and had to change the fluid. I could tell a difference.
