Default what just happened...?

i recently finished up some rear main seal work, and put my car back together, and im driving around to put some miles on it. 1st day everything was fine. second day went by smoothly. the third night...didnt go so well...im driving around, and everything is cool. well, the shifter is getting really notchy all of the sudden, starts grinding when i have to take it out of gear and put it into another. 15 mins later, i find myself parked at a gas station because i cant get it into or out of a gear. pedal pressure is the same. the only thing i can think of is maybe the line to the slave got loose, was touching the header, and got hot, making the fluid boil therefore putting air in the line. anyone have this happen to them, or have any ideas?

some notes...
if i put it into first with the car off, then turn it on, it stays in first, and wont let me shift out...

if i put it into neutral with the car off, then turn it on, it wont let me into any gears...

Never had it happen to me, but makes good sense. Get it up in the air and check it out.

ok, todays prognosis, is that the clutch will not disengage...that means, bad slave or bad pressure plate. hmm.....
