Pressing clutch down I hear this..
Your over center spring is dry or wore where it pivots on the assembly, My first guess. The first thing you need to do is make sure you have the correct parts in your car. There are several different pedal assemblies with different springs and pin spreads for different years and different motors. There are also different bell housing pivots and forks and the geometry is totally different. I had a guy come here and he had a new clutch put in and now his fork rubs the exhaust with the new fork. There is a late and early bell pivot from what I recall. They have different pivots which take different pin spreads on the pedals. I have been working on these cars a long time and still learning myself. Is your engine and trans original to your car? Below is an example of just two different years A and E body. Even the pivot ball attachment bracket is different on the side.
If your car just started this it is more than likely a worn and dry spring pin. I see cars come in all the time and the linkage adjustment rods are dry and wore. No one ever greases the linkage until its to late. Especially under the dash.
