Default Stuck clutch

Hey guys, IIIIIIIIII've got a problem...

So my car has been sitting for a while since I;ve been on vacation, along with the fact that the headgasket went bad and took me a while to have time to fix it. Well that's all fine and dandy now but the freaking clutch is stuck to the flywheel! I've bled the clutch numerous times to no avail and all the tips I found on google didn't do anything either.

In case you guys think it's something different, here are the symptoms:
Cannot shift into any gear while the car is on, only while it's off. The cluth has been bled and the master/slave cylinders are in working order. If i start it in gear then it gets kinda jerky and slowly moves forward, and I cant (easily) get it out of gear.

Any tips to break that bad boy free?

when you start it does the clutch work as in does the car try to move with the clutch depressed if so theres a problem with master/slave or fork ect., if not its stuck in gear theres a broke gear or synco stuck.

Yes the car kinda tries to move with the clutch depressed. The master cylinder is somewhat new still and its not leaking, and the slave SEEMS to be functioning properly, IE the piston is moving in/out normally. I may replace the slave anyways since it's original.

The car had this problem immediately after first startup so I really REALLY doubt it's a broken gear or anything broken in the tranny itself.

Did you fix it? Sounds like a broken pressure plate/clutch cover won't let the clutch disengage. You could bleed the slave cyl, or it could be a bad Master or slave.

The clutch disk is bad. It sounds like it's warped. Happened to my car. One of the springs popped out of the clutch disk.

How old is the clutch?

Might want to start thinking about getting a replacement clutch installed.

Yeha I fixed it. I pulled the tranny and it turned out one of the flywheel bolts had backed out far enough to where the clutch would grab on it when it was fully disengaged. Thanks for the help guys
