Have you adjusted the free play ? If so I'm thinking the throwout bearing is cocked and jammed up. Hope I'm wrong

The rod from the Z-bar to the clutch release arm has an adjuster built into it. Lengthen the adjuster until you have about an inch of pedal travel before you feel any resistance. You do it a few dozen times and you can adjust without even touching the pedal.

Here's a photo that might help (thanks to someone for the photo). Anyhow, the adjusting rod is laying down (yellow arrow). It goes into the indentation in the clutch arm (red arrow) and is adjusted by screwing it one way or the other.
