Remove the floorboard and the inspection plate. Rotate the engine with the crank and look for a Clutch Disc Torsion Spring out of place. If so, bummer!
Some clutch discs have "keepers" over the springs to keep them in place. Some have a internal projection that protrudes inside the spring. It is supposed to keep the spring from coming out. But, having had that experience, they will come out and lock the clutch up.
