Clutch will be replaced, what actually failed?

It was bound to happen sometime. I've had this truck for going on 25 years and have never touched the clutch. Over the last few weeks, the pedal had gotten to where it didn't want to return. A good stab would normally bring it back up. Now it's gotten to where the pedal won't return unless you put your toe under it and let it snap back. The actual engagement still feels OK, just the pedal operation.

Did the throwout bearing finally fail? I would think that if the clutch fingers were weak, I'd feel slippage. The pedal and z-bar springslook OK.

Any thoughts?
