Re: Clutch pedal jammed
Had this - worn out clevis pin and hole on the clutch pedal. (unless you have a cable then I don't know whether it is the same)

Re: Clutch pedal jammed
More likely to be the release bearing operating shaft has seized.
They tend to get rusty like this espcially with lack of use
Try pushing the release lever on the side of the gearbox upwards, Then remove the bush retaining bolt from the area arrowed and squirt some three in one oil or similar into the hole, replace the bolt or the bush may spin and try working the clutch repeat if necessary.

Re: Clutch pedal jammed
Once you have got the arm freed up with light oil. Pack as much Moly grease into the bolt hole as you can, and screw in the bolt squeezing the grease around the bush.
