your clutch is engaged all the time. sounds like bad clutch bell bearings. or the shoes are jammed open. check there first.

hi take off your clutch bell (the gear whats atached to the engine) check if the clutch springs are jamed, broke also check if the shoes on the clutch are worn out or melted.one my shoes melted to the bell gear and the same problem you have ocurred.
hope this helps.
