I backed my Vette out of the garage today with no problem. When I pushed in the clutch to shift into 1st, the clutch went almost to the floor and then hung up. I can lift the pedal with my foot and it "pops" all the way out. However, there is free play when pushing in the pedal until it gets almost to the floor. From there, there is not enough engagement to shift into gear. It hangs up in that position until I raise the pedal with my foot. We have had some very cold weather, but I don't suspect it is weather related since the car is garaged.
I checked the clutch reservoir and the fluid is a little low, but the reservoir is not empty. I will go to NAPA in the morning to get some fluid and bring the reservoir up to level. I am wondering if the system requires some type of bleeding after topping off the reservoir.
If this does not resolve the issue, I am hoping someone may offer something to try before having it towed to a dealer as a last resort if all else fails.
Thanks in advance for any help
