Default Clutch not disengageing

I was racing the other night and all was good untill 4th gear. I went to go to 4th and it was not there. after I slowed down to try another gear I find that it wont go in any gear , so I stopped the car ,shut it off and put it in 2nd . Then I cranked it and it was pulling forward while it was turning over .

I bleed the brakes , adjusted the m/c and still doing the same thing. There was fluid coming out from where the Slave is but just wondering if That is what it would be or does that show any signs of a clutch disc as well?
Just need to know what I need to order , I know I am changing the Slave no matter what but I think My spec stg 3 is still holding to good.

I have had great luck with this clutch with 2 years worth of 6000 rpm dumps on ET Streets and lots of Hard 1.6 launches on Nittos and M/T drag radials.

Sounds like your friction disk is welded to your flywheel. It happened to me with the spec III.

I am leaning towards that as well. I went out in the garage and felt the clutch peddle, it is just like before. I checked the resevoir and it is still full. I think it is in the clutch itself.

Thanks for the responses , Chad.

I have a spec 3 and the other night after a run, I could not get it to go into gear either. It has about 3000 miles on it. about 50 track passes on it and I'm about to pull the tranny, to see whats wrong. It will go into gear with the car off or on. But when I try to drive it, it binds up and will not go into the next gear. I thought it was a fork. but it will work smoothly when its just sitting. I think it has something to do with the clutch.

I am going to get a new clutch but not decided between another spec stg3 or a Ram power grip hd with a 980 disk . I got 12000 hard driven miles out of the spec with many many 6000 rpm domps.
