Are you sure the clutch isn't completely burnt to nothing?

You push the pedal in to dissengage it, so by default the clutch is always engaged.

The only way i can think of for the clutch to not be engaged is the quadrant on the pedals getting jammed.

It's a half mooned looking thing with teeth on it that the cable wraps around.
