I had a similar issue some time ago:  the bearing in the fly wheel froze and
the transmission shaft would turn no matter how much I depressed the clutch
which was working just fine.  A trip to the mechanic, replacement of the
bearing and ensuring the grease impregnated felt ring was properly in place
took care of the issue.
Cheers

Kinda like not fully depressing the pedal. Has come on fairly suddenly.
Actuating the pedal does not move any of the components, other than the
lever going into the housing.
