xj 600s Gear problem

Hi All

I have a xj 600s L reg 1993 and just recently it is very hard to get into gear sometimes I have to let the clutch out a bit and it will go into gear then but I have trouble shifting up and down.

I know they suffer with clutch rattle which mine has

I have also noticed when on its stand and I put it into gear and let the clutch out it is ok but when I pull it in the back wheel stops as though the back brake has been applied
Also there is a squealing noise when I operate the clutch coming from the clutch side of the bike could it be the clutch plates are worn ????

Or something more serious

HELP
Thanks Rob
