That does kinda sound like you got air in the system...

However, if you don't have enough pressure in the system, then the clutch will NOT slip, rather it will stay engaged, thus making you undable to shift gears...

So this might just be an adjustment, or the bad news...

BTW, are you familiar with bleeding the brakes? it's the same way, however you're supposed to pull the pedal up, after your partner closes the valve, by hand. Sounds like the last time you "bled" the system you didn't do this, meaning you did it improperly.

You also state that you replaced clutch parts a short while ago. Again, not trying to start something here, but how do you not know bleeding the clutch, but can actually change the thing? The latter is MUCH harder.

If you did get air in the system, (at the reservoir, meaning you ran it dry, while bleeding), then you simply need to keep bleeding for A WHILE!

However, the pedal just staying at the bottom of it's travel will not usually happen just by a little air in the system, unless you did the bleeding REALLY wrong, that must mean a leak somewhere in the system.

Have you checked the general area for leaks?
