Kelly,
Has this clutch been working correctly for a while, and then the problem just started? If so, perhaps the master cyl is by-passing. Try pumping the clutch pedal to see if that helps.
There may be too much marcel in the disc(s). This would effectively make the clutch disc thicker (than normal) when it (the clutch) is disengaged.
The shift linkage isn't the problem.
