if it was just the clutch disk stuck to flywheel you'd still get at least =
some movement of the pedal. Early cars used coil springs in the cover plate=
to hold the disk firm to the flywheel, and later cars used diaphragm 'spri=

a long time it's conceivable the fluid in the line has gelled and/or crysta=
llized to the point it prevents flow to the slave cylinder (I have had BF g=

hough I haven't tried; those are some strong springs in the cover plate.<br=

=EF=BB=BFTwelve years could have built up some "goo" in the clutc=
h master cylinder and prevent it from moving the piston. As Perry says, cou=
ld also be the same issue in the slave. However, the clutch is hydraulic an=
d the pedal does not move any mechanics (other than the piston rod) so it c=
an't be mechanically hung up. The clutch disc is another issue which may sh=
ow up later, and I would wonder if the brakes are functioning? Moisture rea=
