Default clutch sticking to floor

clutch sticking to the floor and car wont go into gear due to loosing fluid....but i changed the master(mccleoud adj) and slave(01 gm) about a month ago and probably dont even have 1000 miles on it. Any ideas what could be making it leak? air bubbles? slave took a **** on me? any info would help guys thanks

Mine started doing that after I swapped in a new cam and heads with headers. My theroy is that the headers get the line too hot to function properly.

Your clutch fluid is overheating be it due to the absorption of moisture into the fluid or an increase in HP is causing slip in the clutch heating up the fluid past its boiling point.

Either way, swap out the fluid and your problem 'should' go away.

I had the same Identical thing with my clutch system. I had a SPEC 3+ just installed not 3 months old and started loosing fluid and clutch slipping in higher gears. took transmission out and black dust everywhere. Replaced clutch and slave cylinder and resurfaced the flywheel no more problems. What kind of clutch do you currently have and how long have you had it?
