I had a similar problem and my more knowledgeable friend was convinced and =
convinced me it was hydraulics to the extent I replaced everything includin=
g the master cylinder and then bled the system again and again and etc.  Fi=
nally pulled the engine and examined the clutch.  lever bolt and bushing we=
ar caused uneven pressure on the throwout bearing which eventually caused n=
otches to wear in the release levers creating a mechanical stop, and a prog=
ressive lack of operation as you describe.

I last drove it 4 weeks ago,  could it freeze up that fast?   If it were fr=
ozen, would that account for the not being able to move the clutch cover?  =
 I would think so.  =20
