id be guessing the pedal box is about to break, very common problem.
look at top of the clutch pedal around the pivot with a torch and u'll see the problem.
the firewall is most likely cracked or about to crack too where the cable goes through also.

There are several things to check....clutch cable adjustment, cracks in the firewall, cracks in the pedal box ( clutch pedal area ), clutch cable being cooked on the exhaust, clutch is worn out..........................

no.

you'll find the clutch isn't disengaging %100. it will be due to one or more of the above reasons.

it won't be the gearbox.
