What clutch is in your car? Sounds like when one of the springs broke in my clutch. I had the clutch with the 8 small springs. The cup clutches have the 4 big ones that are not supposed to break.

I wouldn't let only 10,000 miles rule out throwing one of the 6 inner little springs. They don't need to actually break to sneek out and get caught in the works.

You didn't drop anything down the bellhousing inspection hole did you? I wouldn't think the hydraulic cylinders would stick tight, so it must be either the pedal linkage or something in the clutch. Could also be a problem with the clutch fork.

In any event I wouldn't push on the pedal too hard as people have been known to bend or crack the clutch fork and that isn't a cheap part.
