clutch is too light It has been this way since I've had the Z06 clutch along with the updated slave cylinder. Pedal feel varies somewhat, but it never gets sticky and acts like it's going to stick to the floor, so no problems there. Does the drill mod stiffen up the pedal feel any? I'm getting really ticked off how light and spongy the clutch is, as it's hard to get a feel for it, and my foot actually slips off the pedal on occassion. I'm getting a rebuilt trans pretty soon, and plan to change the clutch to a Ram Powergrip while I'm at it.
Is there any way to get a heavier feel like switching to LT1 hydraulics? I like how my friend's LT1 clutch is. It's pretty heavy like a Mustang, but I like how you can actually feel it and it doesn't feel like you're about to push the pedal through the carpet when shifting. Any ideas are appreciated since there is no cable or non-hydraulic setup out there for our cars.

What you've described sounds like mine when it has just a bit of air in the system. When I bleed mine, the last three times I release pressure I do it very quickly--just a quick flick to one side and back. Any other way manualy and I can't get all of the air out and it feels just like you describe.

I wonder if the clutch springs have lost their temper. If you're not getting any slip then I would think there's no harm and you'll get used to it. If it is so loose that a big road jolt moves the pedal then it's a problem.
