Default Clutch Problem

Anybody had their clutch go "soft" on them? Mine use to be firm then this morning I went to back the vette out of the garage and about stuck my foot through the floor.

Mine did that, but shortly thereafter, went back to normal. Others have done it too. Wonder if it has something to do with the hydraulics.

Its been an issue on the C5s as well.
It seems like the techniques car makers use to allow 400+ horsepower cars to have easy clutches also makes them a big finicky.

This also happened with the 6 speed Camaro's. I had a hell of a time fixing mine.

On those cars (as well as the C5's), there was a problem with the pressure plate being fairly weak. I have not had any issues yet on my C6. I am crossing my fingers.
