Clutch problem

I have a 2008 Turbo. It has 16,000 miles. The car is in perfect shape. Hasn't been driven in three weeks. I jump in it yesterday. I depress the clutch and it feels very strange. The clutch pedal has only about a 1/3 of the travel as normal. The clutch seems to work fine. But the travel on the pedal is gone. Any
thoughts on what the problem is or fix might be?

Rodents.

Or maybe not rodents.

After I posted the Rodents thing I got to thinking (should have done the thinking before posting) more likely the cause of the behavior is a hydraulic problem.

If the car has not had the clutch hydraulic system flush/bled in several years now might the time to do this or have it done unless the place where you take the car has a better idea.

Check the clutch master cylinder. I guess it will be overfilled. Clutch slave and accumulator more than likely have failed.

clutch slave or accumulator dead, this is very well known failure. If your out of warranty fight the dealer like mad to fix it for free, it should be a recall.

Thanks for the help guys. I will let you know what my dealer says. The car is nine months out of warranty.
