Clutch/6-speed Transmission Problems

I have a stock 2006, C6, LS2, 6-speed manual. The clutch was dragging between shifts so Chevrolet replaced the clutch under warranty. However, when stopped and the transmission is put into 1st gear, the car moves forward with the clutch pedal on the floor. In addition, the transmission is hard shifting into 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th gears. It almost feels like the clutch is not fully disengaging between gears.

Is this normal? This is my 4th Corvette and by far the most difficult to shift.

The car moving and difficult shifting is not normal. Sounds like it just needs to re-bled. Take it back to them, it should only take 30 minutes to bleed and then you'll know.

Stiff Shifting

My apologies, but what is "re-Bleeding". Haven't heard that term before.

Many thanks,

John

2007: This is my 3rd Corvette with MN6 and by far the worst to shift and very annoying! Could it be the Mexican made transmission. MN6 was great when it came from Germany- Gee, wonder why?.
