    your clutch is breaking apart, the broken pieces get caught between the disks, and the clutch will not release so the brake will not stop the input shaft. when the pieces fall from between the disks, the clutch brake works normally

    In other words it is time for a clutch. Now. Before you get in trouble when it does not work at all.

    If you look in the hole where you can see clutch there will probably be metal flakes or dust and if (with the engine off) you feel in there you might fine some broke spring pieces or just small pieces of metal.
