Default Clutch problem

Hey just wondering does anybody know what's up with my clutch.
Was driving eariler and was slowing down to turn and the pedal just dropped to the floor so I tried to pop it back and the pedal flew back and is solid and won't press down.
Had a completion clutch and flywheel fitted a few months back?

Thanks

Check your slave cylinder isn't leaking, then your master cylinder then rebleed the system. That should fix it

Wierd problem - do you have any drive or is the clutch stuck in the disengaged position ?

If the pedal is stuck up and won't press now it can't be a fluid issue can it. That would give you a spongy pedal that doesn't disengage the clutch.
Sounds like something is jammed.

clutch release bearing may need to be re greased.

No joy as of yet I havnt had the time to look.
The pedal is stuck up now and won't press down.
Had to start the car in gear so I could drive it back to the garage

Yep, I was thinking something like this too i.e. stuck in the released position, but sounds like there is drive which means I'd be thinking the release fork or bearing has come adrift somewhere.

The slave + line sound like they have too much fluid in now so will probably need to be bled in any case.
