Before you start yanking big heavy pieces out, make sure the clutch
hydraulics are up to snuff. Signs of needing a clutch job are generally
slippage and nasty smells, what you have sounds like a failure to fully
disengage, which is usually clutch hydraulics, If you're not getting
hydraulic fluid all over your feet, suspect the slave cylinder.
