There may be nothing in the foot well for it to catch on, but I'll bet there
is something in the bell housing. I've seen carbon throw-out bearings wear
unevenly to the point that one side of the fork arm has been worn away. I
don't believe that it is inconceivable that the fork is catching somehow
inside the bell housing.
Other than that, you may look at a hose that is collapsed internally
preventing a release of hydraulic pressure. But, that wouldn't give the
feeling of being caught on something.
