The first thing you need to do is check out the condition of the clutch fluid in the master cylinder. If it is black which I'm betting it is, have a friend come over and help you bleed it. If you live near a Wal-Mart go and buy yourself a couple bottles of Prestone Dot 4 brake fluid. You will be surprised at what changing your clutch fluid will make. If you don't have a friend available you can use a turkey baster to extract most of the fluid out. It takes quite a few times whn using the turkey baster to get the fluid out and close to clear but eventually you'll be able to get most of it out.

A lot of guys on LS1GTO.forum and the Corvette.forum were having the exact same problem as you were having. Most of them changed their fluid and their problem went away. Ranger (on the Corvette forum) drag races his Corvette a lot so he change his fluid about once every month. It's so much easier when you have a remote bleeder.

Try that first and if you're still having problems then maybe it is time for a ne wclutch especially with 65K on the odometer.
