Default Clutch stopped working

Last night my clutch would not engage and let me change gears. For a few weeks now I have noticed it was getting harder to shift at higher rpms. Then finally last night it just wouldn't let me go into any gear. When I turn the car off I can shift gears and use the clutch easily. I can put in 1st with the car off then try to start it and it just tries to jump forward like we were push starting it. It has spec3 /stock hydraulics

I found out what it was!! The spec puck had welded it self to the Fidanza aluminium flywheel. I was told this combination would be fine?( guess not)
I am going with another spec3 clutch w/matching spec flywheel. Hopefully this will work a little longer.
