clutch questions
recently i had a clutch malfunction on my c6 during "spirited driving". it didnt grenade or anything, i got the car home without the clutch, the pedal now just flops back and forth like it aint hooked to nothing and rests on the floorboard unless you pull it up, but clutch is engaged regardless of pedal position. when i work the pedal, the fluid in the reservoir sloshes and squirts out, but there is no resistance on the pedal. fluid ramains full and there are no leaks that i can find. ive determined that it must be the slave cylinder or whatever name they have for it?????? anybody have any info on this? also does anybody know if the slave cylinder is internal or external?
thanks guys

no i havent changed the fluid. it was a hair low a good while back and i topped it off with the correct fluid, but it was slap full when it broke. is there any other reason it would need to be bled out of the blue???

I don't think you want someone else other than a dealer tearing into it either. The job isn't that bad, in fact with the proper equipment the transmission can be removed along with the torque tube in about 2 hours or less. I can take them apart and reinstall them and you would never know I was in there.
