Does it roll freely when out of gear and brakes not applied? I had the same problem with a truck. I had to stop and put it reverse to get the rear shoes unlocked. Might be worth a shot.

easy way to find out if the clutch is slipping shift up quicker than normal then give it gas watch the tack if tack rise faster than vechicle is accelerating clutch is slipping brakes dragging will result in ver touchy pedal when applying brakes and pulling also xj will not roll when in neutral as easy as it should
