986 clutch pedal stuck

I don't know if its possible, but if the clutch assist spring breaks, possibly could get stuck in a position that won't allow the clutch to move? At the very least it would be something easy to check.

the clutch assist spring makes it easier to push. If it breaks, it won't stop the pedal from moving

I know, but I have also heard of them kind of exploding when they snap and in theory could get stuck in a precarious position that would lock it in place. Again, just theorizing from some incidents I've read about

A broken clutch assist spring can definitely stick the pedal on the floor. It happened to me and there are other documented occurrences here (along with replacement tips, how they work and specs for different rate replacement springs). They don’t work the way it would first appear.
