Clutch disengagement issues
I believe I am having clutch disengagement issues on my 06 GTO. After talking to a couple work buddies, they steered me in the direction of the clutch not fully disengaging, which makes more sense to me. I have noticed that is it very difficult in most cases to get it into reverse, and it is a clunk to get it into first. what could be the possibilities? I have read bad slave and master, but that diagnosis can be made after checking the fluid level. I am still fairly new to this car, let alone working on manual vehicles, so could someone help point out to where I could check the level at? Thank you!

Since this is a new to you car and you don't know the history, then maybe flush and refill and bleed the clutch hydraulics first and see how it feels. It's really cheap to do, just one bottle of brake fluid. And you'll learn a little bit more about your car the process.

My 06 GTO ended up having similar shifting issues, and it was a pilot bearing that was coming apart. I had the trans pulled and while it was apart, put in all new stuff just in case.
If you end up doing the job yourself I can help walk you through the steps of pulling the trans. It isn't that hard, just cumbersome.
