Thick floor rugs, wallowed out clevis pin hole in pedal, = shorter pedal stroke. Broken spring inside of Clutch MC = 1/2 "suck" of clutch fluid. Hence, no disc disengagement. BUT I have the same problem on my '85. It is murder to shift into 1st or 2nd gear while rolling or stopped! If your problem is a "frozen" pilot bearing or any of the above you should be able to go through ALL of the gears very easily with the engine OFF. My problem is an internal, very sluggish shift fork on it's guide rod, I think, or a synchro spring is jammed in the muff or in that area. I hardly ever drive this car but it was a huge feat to drive it to the scrap iron re cycle center yesterday. Enough said! Good luck.
