It's more likely to be the release bearing, rather than the clutch.

Box has to come off to sort it whatever, if it IS to do with the clutch.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Might be the cable sticking/rubbing in its sheath, change/check the clutch cable before doing anything too drastic
