The clutch is the same for a DL, SDL or TC (but 1.3 and 1.8 are different).
However, are you sure it's not the clutch hydraulics that have failed? Check the clutch arm sticking out the side of the bellhousing is actually moving when you press the pedal (will need a tame assistant, or a camera set up to watch for you!). The fluid being low in the reservoir is another giveaway (but sometimes they fail to leak internally so the level doesn't really drop).
Marina clutches have a habit of sticking as well, so if the arm is moving when you press the clutch pedal but you still can't get the car into gear without grinding it might well be that the clutch plate has stuck to the flywheel. There's various methods to free it off if that's the case,
