if the engine is straining then yes something aint right with the clutch.
Get it sorted ASAP coz when you're trying to force it your not doing the gearbox any good.
Open the bonnet, and on the right hand side of the block is yer gearbox. There will be a lever coming out of the top of it with a cable going to it. Theres a bit on there you can screw up/unscrew to adjust the clutch cable tension. wind up the tension a bit and see if that sorts it. If not then might be time for a new clutch...
