Yet another case of sh!tty hydraulics in the late model f-body.
Solutions??
New slave cylinder + drill mod.
Adjustable master cylinder.
I hate it when my clutch pedal sticks or the shifter refuses to go into gear. I think part of my problem is my Centerforce Dual...but, for the most part, it's the sh!tty hydraulic assembly.

The hydralic line that feeds from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder has a restriction in the line causing the fluid to slow when you push in the clutch. This makes for smooth daily shifting, which would be why you yourself hasn't had any problems, but when you let your so called pro drive he actually out runs the fluid causing the pedal to stick to the floor. You can remove the whole hydraulic/slave assembally from the vehicle and take the line off. When you get the line, you then have to use a drill and a small bit to drill out this restriction. If your clutch isn't slipping then there is nothing wrong with the clutch. Best way to remedy this is to
1. get a new clutch (if money allows)
2. Go to GM and buy a 2002 slave assembally
3. Although it isn't neccesary, go ahead and do the drill mod to it also.
Do a search for "drill mod" or "slave mod". You can find a bunch more info, and there is a do it yourself page that gives you detailed instructions on how to do the modifacation step by step.
