The clutch should start to disengage near the top of the pedal travel.
Between the top and the disengagement point is the freeplay. Perhaps an
inch or so.

So the linkage should be checked to adjust this. If it is beyond
adjustment then out with the transmission etc and replace the clutch
disc/plate. Have the mechanism and the throwout bearing checked at ths
time. It might take some shoping to find a shop that knows anything
about the clutch. Google for help.

Before doing anything be sure to check the action of the pedal and
linkage. Something could be broke or bent.
