[QUOTE="Ntmd8r, post: 84636, member: 45"] With my 2007 Convertible, with less than 10,000 miles (97xx), and in May of 2012 (just under the 5 year warranty), the clutch pedal failed to release. We were out on an Autocross at the time. The pedal would not return... it either stayed up or down. So, off to our local GM Dealer on a flat deck (Duecks in Richmond). After they "assessed" the situation, it was determined that I needed a new flywheel (?????), and slave cylinder. The labour is horrendous because you have to drop the rear end and transmission, and the drive train (wheels, rear suspension, etc.), to get at the clutch. Anyway, since I "Race" the car it was decided by GM that this was NOT under warranty. We had coil-overs in it, Pfadt sway bars, Corsa Extreme cat-back exhaust, and wider wheels and tires. Yep... $2800 later, I could have my car back. Of course, I wasn't told that it would not be covered until after I had agreed to the repairs. If I had known, I would have taken it to my own mechanic, and installed BETTER after market parts.... including a clutch bleed arrangement. [/QUOTE]
