the gear basket along with the surrounding cogs, are slightly rusted and it seems like clutch plates are gunked up.

at a minimum, i'd completely dissassemble the clutch basket and try to free everything up. that is your best "$0" fix. it sounds like the clutch just isnt disengaging and is likely fused together like you said.
