Clutch Help needed Please I'm begging ya

Ok My S14 is in louisiana at my folks house. My dad went to start my car to make sure she still runs and He said the CLutch pedal was stuck in the up position. ( opposite of on the floor). I have been told that it is either my Clutch Master cynclinder or slave or a clogged line.

Now I have a couple questions so I can get my car running to get it to Hawaii. First what would you think to most likely be wrong? How long and difficult would it be for me to repair something like this? I plan on buying a new master and slave anyway.

mechanical jam maybe? Check the linkage under the dash after you pull the MC/SC for free movement.

Unless he was stepping on the dead pedal =O

My cousin (mechanic) checked it out kinda and the pedal is stuck in the up postion. He was gonna try to remove the line connectiing the pedal to the master clyinder and see if the pedal goes down. And follow that process until he finds where the blockage or problem is. The thing is everyone i have talked to cannot remember this ever happening to anyone. I was hoping that someone might have heard of the particular problem and a possible fix.

Well the clutch system isn't that many parts so your mechanic cousin (assuming he knows what he's doing) should be able to find the problem easlily

Update**

IT seems I have 2 problems. My mom's mechanic did a brief checkout. The pedal is frozen in the uo position. The car will start and the clutch is not engaged. So the car will start and you can shift through the gears but the clutch does not engage.

Can anyone offer more advice given the new update?

Well I can't tell because my car is in louisiana and i'm in hawaii. hehe

But the most recent mechanic that looked at it is a shop foreman for 2 large dealerships. He is a close friend of family. But advice I have been getting is that i will eventually need to get the tranny dropped to check everything out. I was just hoping it wouldn't be that bad.
