I have to tell you that 4mo after I got my car this exact same
scenario happened to me in Seattle when I was doing a lot of stop
and go in city traffic. NO shift was possible for about 15min while I sat. I kept trying to depress the peddle every so often until it popped loose. When I finally got around to rebuilding myZF6 the next year I found the fork was bent. No doubt from me pressing on it when it. My theory is that the clutch plate temporarily seized to the pressure plate. I replaced the clutch plate and roughed up the pressure plate
surface before reassembly and no issue since.

Does a new pressure plate ever "blow"? What else could have "broken" and still have a full clutch pedal range of motion, be able to move the shifter easily into every gear, and not smell like an overheated or slipping clutch?

I sure wouldn't drive it until I found out more. Remove the inspection
plate and see whaz-up.
