Default 2 weeks gone clutch!!!

Hello everyone,

This is not where and what I wanted to start on this forum but... Alright I am new on here and I just recently joined the LS1 family. I purchased a 2002 camaro z-28 a couple weeks ago. Everything was fine on it until the clutch stuck to the floor. I figure there are maybe 4 things that it could be.

1 air in lines
2 master
3 slave
4 CLUTCH

On other vehicles I have owned you could always tell when the clutch was going out a while before they did... They weren't hydraulic though. Just wondering what the most likely problem is.

Since we are on the subject. The car is pushing over 400hp and I am planning on bringing it on up a little bit more piece by piece. If I have to replace the clutch I am going to go w/ a Monster stg 3. w/ a tick adjustable. Would it be alright to replace to original master w/ a tick with a stock clutch???

Sorry for the noval.
Opinions Welcome.

Slave or master cyl. check it if it's leaking and check if you have fluid.

Camaro's are hydraulic.

It's probably the slave + clutch wear. Just buy a new clutch and a slave (I think with LS7 clutch package and a slave it was about 550 dollars shipped)...

And the LS7 clutch is badass, it can handle 500hp easy, and it drives stock like.

You have a hydraulic issue more than likely.

Yes, you can run tick MC with stock clutch.

Level 3 is gonna be OVERKILL for 400 HP. Level 2 is good for 525 HP/TQ, and teh Level 3 is good for 700 HP/TQ @ tires.

Any questions, give a call, pm or email, and I will happy to assist you.

my 98 z28 did the same thing. the fluid in the lines was black and the pedal would sick after a hard run through the gears. after a good bleed it was fine.
