Oh yeah I should mention that I had my car on jackstands the other day... and I put the car in first gear with the clutch to the floor and my front wheels did not move. This tells me that my clutch IS releasing all the way.

I think if we could replace the stock lines with the stainless steel braided ones, that would solve our problem unless the stock slave cylinder is just to week. Tilton clutch also make a slave cylinder kit that comes with stainless steel lines for GM products. I however don't know if it would fit our cars. Any input on this idea?
Here's the link to the Tilton Slave cylinder kit: http://www.tiltonracing.com/content.php?page=hydraulic

There's no doubt that TILTON produces some of the highest quality competition grade components. I'm just not convinced there's any way their standard catalog items could be adapted to our situation. It would be nice though...

CM callled my dad today and my dad was telling them that it is pointless to include an OEM slave cylinder on an aftemarket clutch that needs way more force to push the clutch fingers, also the guy said he would call my dad back in a hour cause he was talking with GM on the phone about the cheap ass plastic lines GM put on our cars.
