Default C6 Clutch problems

There is placed called "RPM Transmissions", Anderson, IN fixed my 2007 in about 2hrs time when the clutch master slave cylinder seals failed and left the clutch pedal on the floor. After reading a few horror stories about the super high charges for repair, I contacted RPM. They took less that 2-3 hours, charged $125.00 for the Upper Clutch Master, and $150.00 for the labor. My C6 Corvette has 12,700 miles and GM and their dealers should be horse whipped because of the problems with these Clutch Masters and cost of repair.

Mine was replaced for free at a GM dealer because of their TSB on the issue.

They are covered for 10 yrs/120k mi, though unfortunately your ‘07 is no longer covered. The updated part is $87 so looks like the shop charged you a little premium on the part, but labor wasn’t bad if you didn’t want to swap it yourself.

You can try submitting a reimbursement claim form to GM for the cost of the part & labor. I submitted one earlier this year & they sent me a check. , but my car is still covered under the 10/120. Doesn’t hurt to try though.
