U need a new slave.. sorry man.

Trannys gotta come out, not too hard if u have the right tools.. best part of it is u don't have to pull the bell housing.. that top bolt is a bitch..

^^^what he said

would installing headers have anything to do with this problem

atoler27

could a bleeder screw be loose or a crew loose that could cause this

Try tightening the bleeder before you remove the transmission. The new stock slave is expensive for our cars. The list price is about $400, but you can find them for under $300 if you know where to get it. You might consider changing the clutch while you are in there. The LS7 clutch kit (including a new slave) is about $700 shipped.

Headers should have nothing to do with the bleeder. Generally they wont just loosen up but I have seen stranger things happen. Just but a wrench on the bleeder and if its tight, you need a slave.

atoler27

yea when i loosened the bleeder it felt like it was already tight but its hard for me to get a wrench back on it to make sure its tightened again soo..... yea i guess imma just have to take it in and have it warrantied
thanks for the help

Don't know about the slave but the clutch itself is usually not a warranty applicable item. (wear item). Good luck.

atoler27

yeah the slave is covered but do you think that the fluid could have headed up from the headers and messed up the seal

i have the same problem with mine. i have the parts but too cold to change right now. will come out in the spring. it also gives me an excuse to get the tranny rebuilt. good luck

No, the slave just go bad from time to time. I've had it happen a couple times. It sucks.

atoler27

yea i guess, its just crazy how it happened literally minutes after the install was done.... oh well... crazyness

Perhaps your transmission got jealous that you gave the motor the upgrade so it killed the slave. Now you can give it a new clutch package! j/k Sorry that happened man, sucks having to fix something that isn't for performance.
