Oliver, I've no idea what is normal movement for the lever on a Datsun 1600.
Until your last statement, I would have guessed that the clutch disk is
rusted to the input shaft, but that last statement sure sounds like problems
in the clutch MC. Triumph MCs are prone to having an internal spring break
that can cause similar symptoms, perhaps it's worth having yours apart to
check. Certainly a lot easier and cheaper than pulling the tranny to check
the input shaft.
