Not to take this further 'all over the place' but given the corrosion
wear I'm seeing on my transmission case and clutch housing, I'd
suggest watching the clutch slave bracket while the clutch pedal is
being pushed.

I've read that a rusty slave bracket can fail.

And though this is unlikely, given that Johns transmission is a
rebuilt, could the tube on clutch housing that the slave bracket
mounts on (where clutch shaft passes through) corrode badly enough to
fail and allow bracket to move at that point thus limiting how far the
slave can push the clutch lever?
