Default Need Advice

Like most of u know alot of z06's have the problem of cluth sticking to the floor. my car is one of those. i replaced the slave and the master cylinder. my car worked fine for about two months but did it again.so then i replaced the master again and did the drill mod but still have the problem. i took it to a friend of mine and he told me it was probably cause i bought them at advance auto parts. he also said he had a similiar problem in his camaro and that he went to gm and bought the slave there. the brand of his master was mcloud or something like that. its aroung 420 for that master i wanna what u guys think cause i dont want to buy it and still have the problem. oh i forgot to mention i clean the brake fluid once a week, i use dot4. thanx in advance

yes this is true, I change the fluid in clutch res, when it changes color.

If I were you I would start changeing the fluid, if you do it enough you will have replaced the entire system, because with out a remote bleeder its a PITA to change the clutch fliud.
Heres a great link to help

I think that means the system is still dirty, I would keep flushing it untill it stays clean for longer then a week, have you ever fully bleed the system
