Unscrew the dipstick and pull it out. Get a small screwdriver or one with a large wide blade. Pull the clutch in all the way and out and look into the dipstick hole at the clutch. You should see a little bit a movement of the plates, if not, as you say, they are stuck, then use the screwdriver GENTLY to break loose the plates. Pry with the small one or twist with the large one. GENTLY Do not use a lot of force or move them a large distance. The clutch only moves a little bit, so don't try to spread them apart too much. You just want to "unglue" them. You may use Marvell's Mystery oil to free them up, but only as a last resort. Mystery oil will not hurt anything, just don't use alot. Squirt a little, let it soak in, and then try to use the clutch lever to open them up.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

Also, check your clutch cable adjustment.
