clutch will not disengage when clutch pedel is to the floor need help

Yesterday my car started to have shifting problems. I was hitting the clutch and the Rs were not dropping. And then when I tried to go into gear it would grind. So my ? Is any one have or have the same problem and what's wrong and what will I have to do to fix it.

Slave cyl or master cyl going out. If it's the master it's an easier fix.

The slave cylinder is located on the inside of the bell housing on the input spline of the trans. In all likelihood, if it were the slave cylinder, it would probably be leaking.
It sounds to me like the clutch master cylinder is leaking internally, assuming you don't see any visible leaks elsewhere? The master cylinders on these clutches have been known to bypass internally.
It doesn't sound so much like the clutch itself.

Happened to me a few months ago. Took it in for warranty work and GM replaced the master cylinder, slave cylinder, and clutch.

From my experience it is probably a broken spring in the clutch disk itself.

easy to check item is your slave cylinder pushrod. it connects to you clutch pedal and goes through the firewall and into the clutch slave if it is bent you can push the pedal a million time and your clutch will nvr let go. ZZP has a high strength one for upgraded clutch pressures. other things may be bad throw out bearing(leaking rare), slave cylinder pressure bypassing internal seals. clutches mechanically slip fail so the chances of it being that are way more slim than the hydraulic side of the system for your symptoms.

good luck hope it doesnt cost a fortune.
