sounds to me like your throw out bearing clips could be falling off and the bearing isnt pressing the pressure plate properly.

i had this happen in my bug... clips came off and throw out bearing relocated itself behind one of the forks... it felt like there was a little bit of
clutch operation right at the end of the pedal travel but pretty much a useless amount.l... it would not go into gear either unless the motor was
off.
had to drive home changing gears without the clutch. :o

73 Superbug has the clips attached to the Bearing, so they cant fall off like the earlier ones. It also has the guide tube for the bearing.
If you can hear a noise in the tunnel when you press the clutch pedal, than it is fairly likey the welds holding the clutch tube in the tunnel have
broken. It requires cutting the tunnel open, welding the tube back in place, then rewelding the tunnel shut again.
