Default Car moves when clutch to floor and putting in gear

I was on the way home one evening and noticed the gear shifts were starting to feel a bit notchy. When I arrived home I went to pull the car in the garage and noticed it wouldn't go into gear.
I also then noticed the car started to nudge forward with the clutch to the floor. I've never has signs of clutch slip, hell the car made a trip to the track less than 300 miles before that and the clutch grabbed hard.
Is this a sign of a bad clutch or possibly a slave?
Any help is appericated! Thanks

What does your clutch fluid look like?

What does your pedal feel like?

First thing you need to do is bleed the fluid a few times and see what happens.
If that doesn't work then change your master cylinder. I suggest upgrading. If that doesn't work it is probably your slave in which case you should just buy a clutch kit.

Pedal feels perfect.
Fluid looks dark.
I went out today with the car cold and it did the same thing.

Did you ever resolve this issue? My car does the exact same thing. Holds power just fine and shifts decent at WOT, but normally shifts notchy, wont go into reverse while running and when you start it in gear the car will roll.

Any fluid leaking in clutch system? Bleed system and flush until clear. Throwout bearing may be failing if it still doesn't operate correctly.

Your clutch is not disengaging. Fluids need to be flushed. And/or slave/master replacement. Slave much more likely.
