Default Clutch pedal down hard...

So yesterday while running errands my clutch pedal stuck to the floor and would not return. It's very hard to make it come back and you have to use hands. I can't get the car to go in gear but it will start. The car has full gt2 conversion and it's sitting at a FedEx parking lot so I can't get underneath it. Any suggestions I was thinking maybe slave or master or possibly a line but I didn't see any fluid.

Failed slave or master, time to change them out for new parts. There won't be leaks every time these parts fail, some see leaks, others don't.

Honestly a guess as there could be many things causing the issue and without taking a look any diagnosis would be just that a guess. Get the car to where you can get under it and take a look.

Been there too. I was lucky because it happened in my garage. Turned out to be a bad master and slave cylinder.
