 Hi-
        I'm not intimately familiar with the TR6 clutch fork/shaft
arrangement,  but if it is anything like the TR3/4 pieces, do you think
there is a chance the fork is no longer responding to the motion provided by
the clutch slave ?  I seem to remember there was a small pin- possibley
securing the fork to the shaft- that has a history of losing its purpose in
life.  Question to Mr. Bromiel-  Does the pedal 'feel like a clutch' or are
you just pushing against the return spring at the slave cylinder?   Perhaps
the car has not been driven for a while because of this 
failure, leading one to hope the clutch disc is merely not letting go of the
flywheel ( or clutch cover plate.) ((driven hard, put away broken...)) 
Good Luck!!
Bob W.
