Hi,Can someone please tell me what causes the clutch pedal on my 2008 C6 Z51 to stay on the floor sometimes when accelerating. The clutch doesn't slip and stays engaged but the pedal doesn't come back. thankyou Ross

Take a good critical look at your clutch fluid. It is often the source of gremlins in the system.

Thanks for info, fluid was very dark so I have flushed it all out with clean fluid and will just have to wait and see if it fixes the problem.

It will, I have NEVER had this problem on my 06. when i do an oil change I roll up some paper towels and absorb all the fluid in the res. and refill with new. just don't push the clutch in when it's emtpy
