...First oil changes helping the clutch in one of your prior posts, and now this.
As a clutch wears, it gets shorter, not longer. It is easier to disengage, not harder. By the time it wears out it slips, hence it is semi-disengaged.
Read the guys post. This man changed his throw out bearing. That is a possible source of wear and loss of clutch throw distance in the system, so the clutch may remain partially engaged. By changing this piece, he may have fixed his problem.
He may have also unintentionally subtly shifted the mechanism. He probably also changed the slave clutch. He also probably rebled the system, so if his fluid was tired or there was air, or the slave was going bad he solved another possible cause.
No doubt you will point to his statement that he had been OK in forward, but clnked in reverse. That is because reverse has no synchros. A little spin from the clutch will not affect a gear with a synchro, but a gear like reverse will grind with even a tiny bit of motion.
If you are going to be super critical of others, make sure you are always on your game.
