Default Clutch not releasing

This is the second time this has happened...the clutch sticks to the floor and won't disengage. If it does disengage, the actual pedel moves about an inch. Fluid is full, no leaks...also, when it does this it smells like coolant is leaking...but there is absolutely no fluids leaking at all. I find it hard to believe that this piece of crap stock clutch needs replacing...I had 130K miles on my z28 before the stock clutch was replaced!

Need more info - is the car stock, where are you driving it - temp etc.

There have been a few problems with clutches sticking to the floor when they get hot which would correlate to your coolant smell.
