my dad works with a guy who used to be a mechanic, and was telling him about my clutch problems. he told him to do a test... take the car out on an open road, shift into third gear like you normally would, and then just slow down until it's about to stall. when you get to that point, nail it. if it accelerates slowly at first, then normally, the clutch is ok. he told me that's what happened, so he said i probably need a new master cylinder. he said if it smells, i might just be smelling some fluid burning off.

anyway, i remember reading somewhere that early ls1's have weak hydraulic something, could've been master cylinder.

it might be worth looking into before i shell out the cash for a new clutch...
