Default New Clutch

Hey folks,

I want to start off by saying, you guys have been great when I have questions, considering, I have not made any Corvette friends locally to discuss things.

I had a new clutch, the works installed , not even 6 months a go and not many miles. Although, I think I know what this is, I would like your feedback. My thoughts, air or water in the system! Really disappointed in the Chevrolet Dealer that installed my new clutch setup! I had to take it back at least 4 times and then I noticed this issue. I did the syringe suction deal on the clutch fluid today and it is doing better! By the way, I like the C5 Clutch Spring you guys have discussed on here, much better driving experience! Thanks!! 70K miles.

Yep, I think it is ridiculous, you take your car to a GM Dealer thinking you would get better service, because they work on the same cars day and night. If I had a garage and lift, I would just do it myself and know it is done right! I wonder if a Rick Hendrick dealer would do a better job, since he is a Corvette guy. Thanks for the input!

Yeah doubt it Rick Hendrick is just a name in my opinion. I've done a few (3 time all on jack stands) clutches before it's not that bad of a job once you have the right tools. Good luck my friend.
