Sounds to me like the clutch fork has given up.  :'( If it has it will mean a major strip down either the engine or gearbox out and from memory the gearbox cross member is welded to the chassis and would have to be removed upwards through the floor, unless the vehicle is military spec which I believe had a bolt in cross member.

Good luck and sorry to be the bearer of bad news.  :?

What your saying happened to me not long ago   :roll:   After removing the gearbox I found the clutch release baring had collapsed. As Frankie-Boy says it's a 'gearbox out' job, though it can be done by removing rear drive shaft and moving the gearbox back a few inches!

Let us know how you get on..

Before pulling the box out, check that you have fluid in the clutch resovoir, just in case a hose has burst.

feel your pain iv been there! does sound like release bearing or clutch fork, its worth checking the rest of system first tho, but if u need to get to clutch easiest is proberly trying to slide the box back a few inches using an engine hoist on the inside, good-luck either way.
