Yes the transmission must be removed to get to the throw out bearing and fork end. However if the car ran recently without any incident I am hard pressed to believe the bearing or the fork are the issue. Have you tried to start the car in neutral ? If the fork does not move enough to disengage the clutch plate then it could be the clutch springs on the pressure plate but that is an extreme case as there are multiple springs of different tensions that make up the pressure plate and if one or more have broken then there should have been some noise coming out of the trans area doing that event. Frankly that only happens in racing scenarios where extreme RPM's take place. Removing the transmission is not an easy job. I have attached some photos of what you should find if you remove it. But I would try starting the engine with wheels off the ground in neutral first to see if it really is NOT a stuck clutch disk. You can pm me or we could talk on the phone if you like.
