Question 06 sprchrged clutch problems,cv click,air filter

where to start....
I noticed when i first bought this car the clutch was different from any other car i have driven,but since i have been driving it i know there is something going on,the dealer looks at my like im stupid and said it was fine,but when i drive it the release point changes.. As it is have have no ease in the grab point,its either all or nothing,but the clutch does not slip.

also when i let the clutch out and get power to the wheels i hear the rigth cv joint make a load high pitch tick when i first move.....

and the last thing is I CANNOT FIND A REPLACEMENT STOCK AIR FILTER ANYWHERE,they have a part # but the filter does not have the bump in the bottom and it is and inch too big

any help would be greatly appreciated,thanks

I get the axle click too, a lot. I've had it since day 1 (bought the car new.) If it ain't broke don't fix it. Been through 3 track passes so far and 17,000 miles and no issues. Knock on wood.

thanks for the input guys,

one more question about maybe having water in my cylinder for my clutch,how do i drain it,does it take any kind of special fluid or just brake fluid,does it need to be bleed afterwards?

I fixed the axle click on mine. Lubed the splines and tightened the axle nuts more than what it came with from the factory. Sometimes GM slips up when it comes to torque specs on axle nuts. They'll revise the torque spec. at some point.

i noticed when i hit 130-140 mph my clutch feels like mush afterwards,and it almost feels like its pulsating when i push it in.? at some points it even feels like my grab point is worse afterwards.

how about your guy's engine's,when they are at idle do they make a puff noise,not a bad one but not smooth either. and is there anyway to make the RPM'S drop down faster?

when you push your clutch all the way down does the sensor make a loud click,mine dident when i got it and the dealer once again said it was fine.

i just turned 27,000 on it and they are all highway
