Whip the starter off to allow access to the clutch cover bolts and check all 6 (I think) are tight.

Adjust clutch pedal to give more travel (as above)

If all else fails, it's a broken clutch plate, either cracked friction material or a spring come out.

Other thing on the 185, the pedal box is prone to cracking / braking and once broken pressing the clutch tends to bend the remaining pedal box rather than pushing the master cylinder pushrod.
Easy signs to spot-
1- Clutch pedal sits fairly low compared to brake pedal when released.
2- Pull the pedal upwards fairly hard with your hand. If it comes up more than a few mm then this is probably the problem.
