Hi,
Sounds to me as though you may have damaged the Clutch mechanism. The Book states the possible causes of the Clutch not releasing fully to be one or more of the following:
● Leaky or Faulty Clutch Slave Cylinder or Master Cylinder
● Inadequate travel or misalignment of the Slave Cylinder Pushrod
● Faulty or bent Master Cylinder Pushrod
● Binding Clutch Disc
● Seized Pilot Bearing
Other possible causes might be:
● Worn or sticky Clutch Pedal Bushings (2)
● Worn or sticky Clutch Pedal Boost Spring Bearings (2)
● Sticking Clutch Pedal Boost Spring
A couple of things... 1st check the Hydraulic Fluid Level, next inspect the underside of the Car for leaky Hydraulic Fluid at the Front and also the Rear.
My guess, best case, your hydraulic fluid needs topping up and/or bleeding. It's the easiest and the cheapest, so check this first.
Next, I would guess you may have blown either the Master Cylinder or the Clutch Slave Cylinder (this is why I suggest looking for fluid leaks).
Next, check the Clutch Pedal and it's components (Bushings, Bearings) to make sure they are not sticking.
Beyond this, unless you are very familiar with pulling the tranny to check out the Clutch components, it's time for a Service call at the Dealer or Shop. Hope it's something simple...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
