If this has the original clutch componets and a lot of hard wear due to city driving or 150000 miles and higway driving you are in need of replacing the clutch assembly including the throwout bearing which has the slave cylinder incorporated with that part. To test this start by doing this test with the engine off. Pump the clutch pedal about 25 times. Start the engine and shift into 1st. If it shifts easily the slave cylinder is bad

This could be a bad sending unit, it goes to full when wires are disconnected. the way to test your sending unit would be with a ohm meter connected to the wires and as you move the float the readings will go up or down, if they do not then sending unit is bad, if it is stuck on full it is hard to test by just removing the connector because reading should go to full when connector is unplugged, try jumping the wires at connector and see if it goes to empty, if it does then gauge and wiring are good and sender is bad. good day
