Angry Newest clutch problem

Got my new clutch put in 88 miles ago. Car seemed to be driving fine, good engagement, smooth, nice calm shifts, never shifted over 3k.

on my way back to work from the bank and a yellow light popped up so i jumped on the clutch real quick to brake and the pedal only went in about half way then got hard so i let off the pedal and pushed in on it again, this time it went in to the floor like normal.

got back to work and pushed in on the pedal hard and fast to see if it would do it again and it did, this time though it took a few seconds to relieve itself and after pumping it a few times it felt as if it were normal again.

had to go to the store with my bro in law told him how the clutch was working nicely other than ^ so i pushed in on the pedal fast and after that it was over. pedal became hard as a rock coudn't push it in unless i pressed very hard then i would hear what sounded like a burst of air/fluid and the pedal would go to the floor then let off and it would do the same thing. I turned the car off, turned it back on and i pushed the clutch to the floor. Car won't go into any of the gears now, so i turned the car off again and tried to start it in 1st and as soon as i turn the key the car starts lunging forward. Drove the car home in 1st by starting it and letting it lung forward til it was high enough in rpms to stay started.

Next day we bled all the lines and the master, got the pedal to engage better, but the more u pump it the worse it gets and eventually got right back to the same hardness and air/fluid relasing sound when it would be pressed in all the way and still wants to lung forward if started in gear.

I can go through the gears when the car is off, but when it is on weather the clutch is pressed in or not the car will not go into any of the gears. What is wrong with this cursed car!?

believe it or not the car will go into gear when turned off without the clutch pressed in normally. Bent clutch rod maybe? or there's a hole or leak in the line somewhere?

not sure at all, i started it up in 2nd earlier and drove it a few miles down the road to the tranny shop and dropped it off. hopefully they will take it right in first thing in the morning and fix whatever it is without charge and have it back to me tomorrow.

Mine goes into gear ( some times ) without pushing the clutch when everything off.
