Clutch Pedal Stuck To The Floor

Jumped into the car last night, stepped on the clutch, and it snapped to the floor. Popped it back up, but it feels as if there's nothing attached to the pedal. Under the dash seems to be connected properly, nothing fell out to the carpet. Fluid levels are good, and no leaks under the car. It's not the accumulator, because I had the GT-2 conversion done last year. Haven't got up under the car, but is there linkage that may have come undone above the under body panels? Anyone else with this same problem? Searches here seem to refer back to the accumulator, but that's not the case here. Thanks.

Can the car go in first gear and drive it? if not you broke the TO bearing or fork not cheap to fix. 2k to 3k for labor and parts how old if your clutch?

drug delivery is infamous around these parts
It's those mismatched tires you used. You said so yourself not to do it.

Sorry, had to get that in.

I recently did a clutch upgrade and GT2 slave swap. There are enough stories on here about issues with this I keep waiting for something to fail. Curious to see the verdict with your car.

Recently had my car at the dealer for a window issue and they thought my TO bearing was bad. They didn't know I have a single mass fly wheel that rattles. They quoted nearly $5k for the work, which included a new clutch.

Must have been someone else with the mismatched tires. Still have the stock sizes on mine.
I wasn't aware of the GT2 slave conversion being prone to problems. I researched it for a while before doing it, and only hear people praising the new experience.
Got to watch those dealers! $5K for work not even needed is horrible.
I'll post what happens. I may just cut to the chase and have the car brought to a shop.

Compared to a new TO bearing, pressure plate or fork, the slave would be good news. I'd consider doing that myself.

I was able to shift into the gears with the engine off. Don't want to try it with the car running while its parked in the garage.

Yes but if it doesnt shift into gear when the car is on its the TO or fork. It doesnt sound like the slave because you would have leaks or no fluid upfront.

That is what happens when the slave fails almost exactly...you sure there is no fluid anywhere? Could be hiding

OK, here's the short version update; hate to leave these posts unanswered. The slave and master both went bad. There were never any fluid leaks, or reservior level changes. Had BBi near me do the work.
If you are ever in need of any type of work done, go to Betim and company. Absolutely awesome customer service and workmanship.
