Search for Ranger method on the forum or YouTube and try this first.

It can certainly cure a sticking clutch pedal.

I use the Ranger Method. What are the opinions that the Ranger Method does very little and a full bleed is the only way?

Here is a link that will help you basicly need to drop the drive line to do the job, the shop manual says front and rear engine the whole works

If the Ranger doesn't work for you, try the full flush. Obviously Ranger does not exchange ALL of the fluid but it can be "good enough" for many cars.

Full flush is still cheaper to try before replacing the clutch and slave cylinder. Not sure if the clutch itself can cause sticking but the slave cylinder certainly can.

If the full flush doesn't solve the problem I would replace clutch and slave cylinder since the labor is mostly dropping the drive line.

GL and let us know resolution.

There's a better method than the Ranger method: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...sh-tool-3.html

If your clutch is slipping you need a new clutch. But if the pedal isn't returning to it's full height you likely need a new slave cylinder.

And if you end up dropping the torque tube, that's a good time to install a remote bleed line.
