Clutch pedal Stuck Options

[TonyVan]

New to the 914 world. Appreciate all the help I received on my distributor problem.
Now to my new dilemma. After working on the distributor, I took the car for a Run. Drive fine. Came home and parked it in the car port and covered it up. Next day, I decide to go for another drive and the clutch pedal is hard as a rock and won’t budge. I jacked up the car and see that the cable runs under the headers. It seems to be wrapped in some heat proof tape but wondering if it’s possible for the rubber sheath to have melted and fused to the cable? Would be grateful for any testing procedures.
Thanks,
Tony

Here's what I've done so far today.
Put the car up on the lift. (nice to sit and work on the car). found that the coil overs were out of whack (industry term). The springs weren't seated in either of the end plates. One spring was rubbing against the shock. Took both apart and adjusted. Car has headers, so I removed the ones that were in the way of the clutch fork and got distracted again. Fiddled with the muffler until I felt like messing with the clutch cable. Removed the cable from the fork and removed the plastic wheel and pulled on the cable.... Nothing. Put the car on the ground and pedal was still stuck solid. Removed the floorboard and everything in there looks good. Now it's the cable. But how? is there another access point, in the car to look at? The 911/912 have an access panel between the seats that lets you get to the coupler. Is there something similar on the 914, Maybe under that center armrest tray? Hate taking more things apart than I have to. I'd mentioned some tape on the clutch cable where it almost rests on the header but it's actually more like header wrap.
Been a long day and I'm already looking for a glass on cold white wine.
Thanks for your patience and support.
