[Z06] Slipped clutch, wtf???

Slipped clutch, wtf???
Just pulled car out for the first time in probably 2 months. Went to do a launch using the low rpm, brief clutch slip method that ranger says works well. I think I had way to many revs and too much clutch slip on my behalf because when I had completely let off the clutch pedal the car was all revs and no go, then I shifted to 2nd and same deal, all revs, no go. I thought I destroyed something. So I came to a slow roll and hammered on it and everything worked perfect. Should I be worried about the clutch or is that just a screw up on my end and I shouldn't worry? 06' Z, 10XXX miles.

You probably just glazed the clutch. These things will slip with even the slightest excess in rpm or if you are running too sticky of a tire.

If you had the means, I would put a decent clutch in and forget about clutch problems. For the most paper, an aftermarket clutch will handle better than the stock clutch.

Sounds like you just glazed the clutch. I would definitely check the reservoir to ensure it has darkened from all the dust that was released. If you decide you want a clutch that doesn't have a self adjusting pressure plate and can handle some abuse, feel free to contact me!
