Start with lubricating the clutch pedal pivot up under the dash. Then check the hydraulic components in the system. There is a flexible rubber hose that connects the clutch slave cylinder mounted on the transmission case to the metal tubing from the clutch master cylinder. The inside of the hose can deteriorate internally without leaking to the point where it will pinch off or restrict the fluid flow which causes a stiff pedal.

Using a short socket of appropriate metric value, and a pry bar; Push the pry bar toward the firewall to loosen the tension on the belt. It's not that hard once you buck the initial spiral spring pressure of the tensionor. I have even pryed against the tensionor with a blunt heavy bar and moved it enough to free a belt.

IT COULD BE A FUSE ,IT COULD BE A RELAY TOO, BECAUSE IF IT IS NOT GETTING POWER TO THE SWITCH ON THE BRAKE PEDAL OR FROM THE COLUMN TO THE SWITCH, IT WILL NOT LET IT RELEASE, ITS ALSO POSSIBLE THE SWITCH IS BAD ON THE BRK PEDAL.

Sorry, but your clutch is self-adjusting. The symptoms you describe indicate that it's time for a replacement.

Hello if you fell your clutch is going out that is probably why fith gear is not working. Clutch can be fixed at your local mechanic if it is the clutch transmission would not need any attention as being replaced.
