low traction light comes on car feels like in gear in neutral.
 
I have a 95 z28 lt1 six speed and when i come to a complete stop with the clutch in or all the way out car feels like it is in gear in neutral or even in gear clutch in. Is it a clutch problem or slave problem??? Or something much worse.... Any help or pointers would much be appreciated.

that should be your slave cylinder or the clutch master cylinder. or somethin is leaking and your low on clutch fluid.

Thanx bro much appreciated, really havent had a chance to investigate why it does that sometimes work been keeping me pretty busy, and also the sob stopped doing it, shifts fine through the gears pulls just fine she still goes sideways too easy. Haha, kinda have a feeling my brake booster might be contributing also been a time of two when that light comes on the brake pedal gets hard and car dont stop right away. I guess when it rains it pours huh? Lol.

u said it did it in neutral? so the car is stoping/brakeing by itself? if thats the case then it could not be the clutch or the cylinders, it would have more to do with the brakes what light is coming on. service engine soon, abs, brake?

I'm a lil cornfused on the description myself. The title says the low traction light comes on. By "feels like it is in gear" do you mean the car wants to creep when you're stopped, or does it feel like the brakes are locked and the car doesn't roll freely?

i know my clutch is slippin its a stock clutch that takes a hell of a beating so thats what i initially wanted to go to the clutch field. When your braking the low traction light comes on and what happens is the brake pedal gets hard and sometimes rolls a bit before making the complete stop. The clutch is getting higher and higher thats what made me think maybe the clutch was not engaging properly thats why it had such a drag. Its my only ride right now so i still havent been able to really get under the damn hood :( But i definetly will check for a vacuum leak possible with the slave cylinder and clutch master, and also brake booster. I'm sure it could be one or more, car has 185k on the chassis and dont know how old those parts are. So we'll see....

does the low trac light come on when stopping on all types of surfaces, or just slick ones?

i know that if i jam on the brakes on any surface that happens to me...is it coming to a normal stop or are you braking hard?

I had a front wheel bearing that was making some noise and occassionally when the break was lightly applied, the low trac light would come on. I changed the front hub assembly and low trac light has not come on since.
