Default Need a good shop in or around VA!

I believe I am losing my clutch and I trust the dealership about as far as I can throw them. Any place good in VA or NC would be great.

What is the problem? High pedal engagement? pedal on the floor? Did you try to bleed the clutch? Dualmass /single???

Stock Clutch and it is slipping.. Under full acceleration(and only on occasion for now) Clutch fully disengaged and rpm's climbing, then slipping once getting into the 4k range of rpm's. I have on my list to check the reservoir this weekend.

sounds like it's gone. Have you thought about trying to do it yourself? how much are you looking to spend? Do you want to keep the stock clutch or go to something different?

I know tony's corvette shop in MD can do the clutch job. I think they charged my dad $2000.00 for his clutch job. Cooper's corvettes is another place. Koons is a good place to take the vette if you want a GM dealer to do the work.
