Default Clutch won't disengage

Ram 980 clutch, mcleod adj been working fine for a month up until last night. I got on it in 2nd and went to shift to third and it wouldnt go into gear. Then, I tried getting it into any gear and it wouldn't go in. I finally forced it into gear and was able to drive it home, but it is very difficult to get it into gear.

Pedal pressure feels fine. I tried adjusting it out and didn't help at all. No sign of leaks, reservior is full.
I might just to bleed it again, but the pressure feels fine so I am not sure if I need to????

Got the tranny out earlier and it turns out the thing is toast. Its all ripped apart!

Oh well, time for a new clutch. Thinkin about Textralia but I dunno if it will hold the power. Its a 500rwhp n/a setup with possible spray...
But Im mostly concerned about the clutch holding on motor...
I need to decide soon...

Oh no man sorry to misinform like that! I would be pissed if it only lasted a month...I bought the tranny and clutch used from an ls1tech member and the clutch had a lot of use on it to begin with...that is why I can laugh about it. I knew it would go, just a matter of time....
