Default Temp Gauge stuck on C

My Vtec isnt working and i'm pretty sure thats tied into my temp gauge being stuck on C. I just had a new Clutch put in. Maybe i missed something in putting it back together or maybe it's a new problem?? Any suggestions?

Is your thermostat opening/closing as normal?

Let the car warm up for a few minutes, feel your upper/lower radiator hoses to see if they're both warm.

I'll give that a shot. Thanks. If they both are warm do you think it might be some kind of sensor? I did have the clutch just replaced and was thinking i missed something putting it back together.
