Default Transmission Problems

OK i have had my trans am for about 6 months but recently sometimes when i drive it the clutch looses pressure and even if its to the floor i can't put it in a single gear no matter how how hard i try until i sit there for about 5 or 6 minutes and then it usually just startes working again. Any ideas?

I have a 99 Z and I have the same problem, whenever I hit the gas it looses pressure. You either have to wait or try to pump it to get the pressure back. I would also like some insight on this problem...any answers?

I also got a M6 pm a 00 trans am. More specific, at high revs the petal pushes back hard and then looses it as I press back down. I am reading alot of problems with the slave cyl on this site.

I'm gonna do the drill mod and put in a new slave and I bet it fixes it.

I dought it will fix the problem
I have the same problem. And I have the drill mod.
New master didn't fix it. So when I put another clutch in it a slave is going in too.

Could be worn pressure plates with fingers that are over extending at high RPM and forcing the slave to retract too far. A little searching will get you about a million articles with just as many "fixes".
