Years ago a friend had an Elva Courier ( MGB engine/trans ) with stuck clutch.
We tried many of the previously mentiioned tricks.
Before pulling the tranny, I loosened the bell housing bolts/studs, gently
prying
it away from the block, but keeping it on the alignment pins. Trying to rotate
rear wheels (with leverage) back and forth was enough to free the clutch.
Good luck
