Clutch Pedal to FLoor under boost
I was going down the track the other day and when I did my burnout, the clutch stuck to the floor....You can pull it up and pump it and it will work fine again until I got to the end of the track...
I am running 10 lbs of boost....It seems that the pedal gets sucked towards the floor when boost hits then I can't shift to the next gear.
I just completely bled the clutch fluid and rebled the system and still no change.
Does this sound like a pressure plate issue, clutch issue, or a slave or master cylinder..
Oh yeah...I'm running an LS7 clutch and a Mcleod master cylinder.
Clutch is not slipping

I had the same thing happen to me and it got fixed when i replaced the clutch and slave. I'm pretty sure that it was the slave because it would not hold any pressure and started leaking after a while.

This is the most common question in this forum. 3 out of five stickys cover it, one call "Clutch Pedal sticking to floor." Multiple threads first 3 pages cover it. Even if search is broken, at least look on the front page.
In that order of fixing/replacement: flush, bleed, drill mod, master, slave, clutch. Also, I would consider line lock. Clutch manufactures have on this board reccomended line lock for high powered cars.
If you have a LS1 year T56, a little air or a little grime can cause this problem under hard, high RPM shifts. I've read the GM document admitting this. It's in one of the stickys, I think.

i've read all the stickies.....but thanks
I'm leaning towards more of a pressure plate problem as I have bleed, drill modded, have a built t-56 and am using a mcleod master and the slave isn't that old.
