[QUOTE="mullens, post: 12219581, member: 69718"] Due the increasing number of failed clutches on the 2013, I started this thread. It will serve as both information sharing and documentation of this issue. Just saying it "broke" would not be helpful. What is the definition of broke? • Smoke or smell? • Dead in the water, clutch won't engage? • Slipping, high rpm low speed for selected gear? • Noisy? • Clutch won't disengage? • Clutch drags, difficult to get into gear/gear grinding? • Hard pedal? • Soft pedal? • Pedal won't return all the way? • Chunks of metal missing from bell housing? • A detailed description of the failure would be very informative. • Was the car up to temperature? • What were you doing at the time of the failure? Try to word it like it happened on the road and you weren't actually at the track kicking butt on a ZL1. • How did it feel and sound at the time of failure? • Were there any previous signs of possible failure? Smoke, odor, slipping, difficulty getting into gear, grinding or anything else. • If you have pictures of the broken parts, please post them. • The build date of the car would be helpful if this turns out to be a bad batch problem. • Any other pertinent information that would clarify the situation would also be very helpful. If everyone with a failed clutch contributes, maybe we get get a handle on what we're dealing with. [/QUOTE]
