[QUOTE="Sprocketboy, post: 84630, member: 2805"] Hello, all. I received a letter from GM this week which I have not heard anything about before. It tells me that the clutch on my 2008 C6 may fail if unapproved fluids are used to service the system or "a high-pressure pulse occurs during a clutch self-adjustment event. If the clutch system fails, the clutch pedal may not return if depressed." GM is providing additional coverage to repair this condition at no charge if it occurs within 10 years of the date when the car was placed in service or 193,000 kms (whichever came first). If the vehicle does not have the issue described I am not supposed to bother my GM dealership. I have not heard of this before although I am aware that clutch fluid needs to be changed and I will be having this done before the car goes into storage in November since I am not sure when it was done by previous owners. My car now has 42,000 kms, with 10,000 of that being mine in the last six months. I am new to manual transmission ownership but everything seems to be working well. How often does a "clutch self-adjustment event" happen? I do not think I have a problem looming but this letter might be of interest to other owners of 6MT cars. [/QUOTE]
