Clutch stays on floor. I have a '98 camaro 3.8 V6. Just bought it a few weeks ago. The cluch stays on the floor. I have to get off and pull it. It has done this a few times. Should i be worried? Is this an easy fix?

This used to happen to me when I would overheat the stock clutch with a Heads/Cam pass at the track. I would have to put my toes under the pedal and pull it up, pump it and few times and then it would be fine.
Your clutch fluid is shot and overheating. Change the fluid in the master and you should be fine.

I’m looking for parts. I would like to replace clutch assembly, master & slave. I can’t find performance parts for a 3.8L. Any idea where I can buy them? Also, I’m hoping to mod the 3.8L in the future and add a supercharger.

All you need to to do is replace the clutch master cylinder and bleed the system. This will fix your problem without breaking the bank. You do not have to replace the clutch and the slave cylcinder unless it is slipping.
