If it was a long time since you drove the car, the disc can stick to the flywheel & pressure plate.
Maybe when you pushed the pedal down to disengage the disc, the extra force broke your clutch rod or another part of the linkage.

Hi rm,
You might also check the pins at the z-bar connection and at the clutch fork connection.

Alan

Clutch fork.


Clutch rod to z-bar.
