Clutch pedal not returning, 2009 G37

I just drove over 2000 miles, got 60 miles from my door coming home from vacation, no clutch anymore.

Event description: while driving
Shift in to 5th, pedal only half returned.
Shift in to 6th, no return on clutch pedal.

You can move the pedal up and down freely, obviously, whatever has happened, does not disengage the clutch.

Any thoughts ?

yeah if bleed don't work, start looking for a set clutch and FW. Also replace master and slave cylinder while you're there.

JWT and ACT are reputable kits

Thanks for the replies. Funny how if you use one different word you find results in a search. Did a lot of reading, both is the way to go, be done with it as it is a pain to do.

Thanks again.....

Try power bleeding the clutch lines. Eventually you will need to change out the slave but what I found is changing just the master will temporarily fix the solution(went 1 year before my master died again).

you can also try adjusting the screw by the master to see if will hold after power bleeding.
