Hard launch issues
I have a 2008 Coupe z-51 with a manual transmission. 18k miles
Twice today when I did a fast launch off the line the clutch didnt come all the way up and it felt like the gas pedal was stuck for a split second.
Also there seems to be intermittent times when the car is hard to shift into second.
Anyone know whats going on?
Thanks
Jason

A low level may only indicate clutch wear and further slave travel, such as occurs in disk brakes as wear causes the wheel cylinder piston to move furher out and master cylinder fluid level changes. I'd fill it to the proper level with clean fluid and then monitor it for a few weeks. If the slave is leaking it will be evident by a decrease in level.
