Bad clutch?
Hey Fellas, I have a 2001 Zo6 with about 75k miles. The car was driving fine up until I parked it in the garage. The clutch seems to be stuck half way engaged or something of that sort. If you press the clutch down all the way, you have to force the shifter into gear. What could be wrong? 
Any info would be great, Also can anyone recommend a good and honest tech in the Sacramento/CA area? Thanks!

Hey Stinky: I had a similar issue and it turned out that the slave cylinder was leaking and completely saturated the clutch disc. Are you showing any fluid loss.

I dont see any fluids in my garage so IDK if there's a leak. I'm kinda car retarded so I could be wrong. I may just have it towed to the stealership but I'm sure they will charge me an arm and leg. Thanks for the info!
