What's wrong with my tranny?
My clutch pedal is soft and in order for my car to go into gear i have to press down hard but that doesnt work all the time.. did my sleave cylinder go out? if so i know that's inside the tranny but is there any other posibilities i can check before i go spending big bucks?
but if worst come to worst and i have to drop my trans. what should i take advantage of doing new cluch? if so what clutch should i go with performance or oem?
Car: 2000 camaro z28 m6
my mods: LT headers No cats/ORY lid, k&n filter, tune.
thanks guys any help appriciated.

Well have u checked under the car to see if it s been leaking if so most likely the slave have gone bad. But sometimes it can be your master cylinder. If u do a clutch swap I would definetly go with aftermarket performance clutch OEM just doesn't hold much. Monster have a special going but they're kinda high. I got a ram powergrip hd set and it holds just fine. Just know when u start swaping clutches its best to get the whole kit that way u want run into many problems about engagement and disengagement issues like I did. But anyway check for leaks in see what u come up with

What u could is get a mity vac and put it at the bleeder valve take u reservoir top off and have someone to keep it full at all times while u pump. The vac will suck fluid threw the system so all u do is pump and pour fluid until there's no more dirty fluid coming out.
