This is exactly what happened to me as well (broken friction plate spring).

...in the next exciting installment of this thread:

'How to change a clutch - gearbox through the interior, or engine out 
completely'

I had this happen once several years ago. What I found was one of the springs in
ths clutch friction disc had broken out of the disc abd was wedged between the 
pressure plate and the disc. Obvisouly required full clutch replacement.
