Did the same with a customer's car a couple of months ago when his actually failed during a test drive after other work.

My dealer just told me they will fix this at no charge if i bring it in this week. I havent had any issues but maybe I should just do it. What kind of fluid are you guys using in the clutch system?

Any DOT 4 fluid. You can get the Prestone stuff at Wal-Mart. Just make sure its DOT 4. If you track your car, ATE Typ 200 would work great.

1s gear grind
My pedal has never been stuck down, but my problem is when waiting at a light, I need to keep the clutch pedal in for about 5 seconds before the input shaft (?) stops and I can engage 1st gear without grinding. I can however just put it straight into 2nd and start off with a little clutch slip. Could this master cylinder issue be causing my problem?

By all means take it to your favorite Chevy dealer or one near by.
I think they will fix it for free!
What do you have to lose $ nothing, But what do you have to gain$$$ Just do it!!

Well my pedal on my 2011 GS with about 14,000 miles stuck to the floor after shifting to 3rd gear. Luckly I was able to drive it to a friends garage but he doesn't work on Corvettes. Had it towed to the local Chevy dealer and will see what happens. He said that they were really busy an it might be a week before he could look at it. But after reading all the 20 pages of this, mine seems to fall under the #14717 recall. Will know soon enough.

And they will put the updated redesigned part in and you will no longer have any problems, works great!

The dealership called me back today and verified that it was the clutch master cylinder. They are going to order the part and should be able to put it in tomorrow if it shows up. They are going to cover most of the tow bill, but since I bypassed the closest Chevy Dealership, to get to them because they handle more Corvettes, they will only pay to the closest dealer....guess we will see tomorrow...

Chevrolet (D/FW) refused to do recall
09 Base 6MT 63,000 miles
Pedal would stick to the floor but I could pull it up with the edge of my shoe. Scheduled the service visit for the recall. Advisor says tech was able to duplicate. But on phone with GM, the advisor is told not to repair it under the recall until the pedal stays on the floor and the car is towed in. Thanks but no thanks, GM; I'm not waiting til I break down. I have a long daily commute, and I'm pace car for Track Night in Am. and SCCA road races. A terminal breakdown would not be cool for how I use the car. I'll foot the $275 bill at reputable D/FW-area Corvette repair shop. And good luck to everyone waiting for the car to need a tow.

Thats bull ****! That is a complete failure. They all can come back up but you still have to lift it between every shift right? I'd go to different chevy dealership. But if you have it done somewhere, this may sound stupid make sure that you get the new designed part. Be my luck and they would have the old one in stock and give it to me. Just sayin lol
Cheers!
