i own a repair shop,and i think you have a bad clutch cylinder on it,either that or the slave cylinder is just about out on it,if yours is one of the ones that uses the cable instead of the cylinders,you can adjust the cable real easy,you need a good repair manual on this car,it describes in it each process for doing this along with photos,and they are very helpful to have when you own a older vehicle like that,if you get a chance to take it by any local shop,and get a hands on opinion on it,they may be able to show you a simple procedure to get it repaired,good luck,i hope this help,s.

Sounds like it is in the Hydraulics. I am guessing a Hydraulic clutch. Make sure there is fluid in the master cylinder. The reason it starts is because there is a switch on the clutch. Do you put it in Neutral when you start......If not the thing may lurch forward on you. If it truly disengages meaning you can depress the clutch while in gear and start it. then it won't disengage enough when you press the clutch to go into fitst, I would check the linkage making sure it is tight. There should be less than 1/4" play in the linkage. How do you apply extra force when you should always depress the clutch to the floor when shifting....?

Unless the clutch has failed catastrophically, this can probably be taken care of with an adjustment. New clutch discs wear significantly when first installed, then the wear slows to almost nothing if the car is driven properly. A competent shop will usually tell you to bring the car back in some number of miles for an adjustment after clutch replacement.
If you had to force gear changes, that's a sign of improper adjustment, clutch not disengaging all the way when the pedal is depressed.

I don't know if you have a hydraulic clutch or not . If you do check the master cylinder and the slave cylinder, rebuild or change fluids first. If it is all mechanical than you need to physically check the linkage all the way to the fork that releases the pressure plate. The next place to check or replace is the pressure plate. The diaphragm springs could be weak requiring replacing the pressure plate. Good Luck!!!
