Default Clutch won't release

Clutch pedal pushes down to easy and doesn't release to shift into gear. Everything worked great when I put it away for the winter. I'm the original owner with 13,000 miles and was stored in a heated garage. No sign of any fluid leaks and is not low on fluid. Any ideas what to look for?

Do you mean that, when you push on the clutch, it stays on the floor after you remove your foot?

Or, do you mean you can push the clutch to the floor and once it's on the floor you can't shift into any gear but, but when you retract your foot the pedal comes back up?

What model year is your ZR-1?

I had a leaky slave cylinder and *** soon as the fluid level was low enough I lost the clutch. Pedal would go to the floor and stay there.
