sounds like you may have broken a finger or two off the clutch pressure plate. Had the same thing happen in my old VW. How many miles on the clutch?

it could also be the self adjusting pawl under the dash. the tend to strip out after time or with an upgraded clutch. It usually makes a ratcheting sound when this happens, it can be easily fixed and upgraded.

If that is your prob you just need to swap to one of the many aftermarket aluminum clutch quadrants available.
