Default Need clutch help please

Ok, here's the deal... Drove the car around all day yesterday, performed flawless. As I was heading back to the shop to put the car away, I noticed all of a sudden that the pedal had some "play" in it, where there was no resistance for about the first 2 inches of travel. Once I got back to the shop, I couldn't put the trans in gear with the car running. Obviously, there was no longer enough throw to fully disengage it.

I checked the car this morning for leaks on the slave setup and found none. The clutch fork isn't loose either. Just seems as if all off a sudden I lost part of my slave cylinder throw.

Attached is a pic of the bar in the footbox. I didn't build the car, so I don't even know if it's setup right. But I do know it worked, and now something changed.

Any ideas on what it could be, or what I can check? Should I bleed the system out, and if so, what's the proper procedure for that?
