Well, went ahead and tried the "fix" that Doohickie posted for the clutch problem on my 05 GT. It wasn't easy for me to start wrenchin on a car with only 9900 miles, but it was a very easy fix and went well. The clutch now acts like a clutch should. Much, much firmer shifts.......nothing like my old 70 Chevelle but nevertheless much better. Hope the little springy wasn't put in there to make up for a weak tranny!
Anyhow, a big THANKS! to Doohickie for posting the info.
Now , to try and fix the hanging revs.......

OK. The clutch is better, but like I said before, it's not perfect. Run up to redline and shift into second and you still get delayed clutch engagement big time.
I think I got it figured out. The culprit is the banjo bolt that attatches the line to the slave cylinder. I tore it apart to check things out again and found the actual orifice in the bolt is pretty tiny. Way too small to allow the rush of fluid for a really quick shift(clutch engagement). So.... I'm gonna drill it out to a respectable size and see what happens. I'll let y'all know how it works.
How in the heck anybody builds these cars to race with that clutch setup is beyond me.
