1. Are you able to shift gears while the car is running?
2. How is the clutch fluid level doing?
3. Did the clutch feel fine when it was driven from the shop?
4. How many miles do you have on the clutch and how many of those were break-in miles?
5. Were you doing some hard accelerations when this happened?
6. Do you have a remote clutch bleeder?
By answering some of these questions we can better diagnose the problem.

i got the same problem on my C6 Z51 today.... the clutch just got stuck on the floor and cannot change gears what so ever. It doesn't engage back up, why? I check the clutch fluid cylinder the rubber part was expanded and torn alittle bit. I think that's the problem... You guys know of the part number for that cylindrical piece? Any help would be very helpful

What most likely happened is the slave failed, the bleeder came loose, or the main pressure line came loose. Don't count on the new gm slave; we have put brand new slaves in and we go to test them and they fail. We had another race car that we put a new slave in and two laps into the race it failed. You are most likely going to see fluid on the bell housing indicating that one of the above events happened. But maybe if your lucky, your just low on fluid
