Black- 1999 Camaro Z28 (SS kit)
Is it my clutch,petal assembly,or both that is sticking under WOT on NX wet 150 shot?
I have a ZO6 clutch now on my '99 Camaro 6spd with 4.10 gears, but still, from a dead stop at WOT, my clutch sticks after the NX wet 150 kicks on and shifting to the next gear and stomping on the throttle again just leaves the clutch partially stuck in forever....burning it up and not allowing the full power to the ground.
Is it my clutch?
Is it my petal assembly?
Is it my 4.10 gears?
Is it all the above?
Anything I can do besides comments telling me to change clutches?
If I do a roll out it is fine....just when I use it from a dead stop is when I have this prob? I remember reading some sort of GM recall or problem with petal assemblies as well?
Thanks,

Its not your gears, I can tell you that much.
Is the whole pedal not returning to its top position, or is it the clutch itself that won't engage?? Either way it sounds like its a hydraulic problem, if the clutch was slipping due to a seal leak it would still engage all the way, but it would slip once engaged.
If the clutch won't even engage all the way, first thing I'd check is hydraulics.

I guess I am really running:
Z06 clutch/flywheel + drill mod + upgraded hydro's
To desc how it feels...when I nail it and the juice kicks in, it feels like the petal needs to come out another few inches for the clutch to be released all the way...of course, once I shift to 2nd, it was burning the clutch in first, so it cont's to burn it in second. It is really annoying. This is how my old clutch was also. You could smell the clutch burning at the track too since it was not coming all the way out.
How do I bleed my system the right way? Any good write ups? Is it easy?

It's just like bleeding the brakes, if I remember correctly...there should be a nipple and top of the tranny, right?

Okay, maybe you guys think I am an idiot for doing this, but my local GM dealer said to bring it in at 8:15 tomorrow morning and for $89 they will bleed my hydraulics and check for any leaks.
At least I can rule these out if they bleed it correctly, which they said they will.
Think $89 is a crazy amount to pay? Think they will do it right?

I would do it. 89.00 bucks to do that by GM. Not too bad.

sticking clutchs are issue with new vettes and no one has the big cure. ya did the drillmod you say. were was the restrictor ? vettes were in the line at slave while birds are in line at master ? what color is fluid any gunk in master are lines too close to exhaust. if driving normal were does clutch first engage eg:high pedal release or off the floor
