Mr.R wroteRemove the clutch lever and lube the pivot, check to see that the piston's moving as they can seize if left standing, then flush the fluid through with fresh stuff.
If it's still stiff after that remove the slave cylinder, take it apart and clean it up inside and refit the piston/seals using Red rubber lube if still no joy?*
Strip out the clutch and give everything inc' the long pushrod a good clean and fresh lube.
I think you'll find the steel driven plates are well rusted by now, you can either clean them all up with Emery cloth or replace them.
*If you find the slave F'cked, then I've a billet aftermarket one with a lighter pull in pefect working order that I'd sell for £45 inc' the postage.
