Worn out slave cylinder causes clutch release problems.
Worn clutch fork also.  Not the master cylinder being .70.
I would stick with the.70 mc. Unless you like a heavy clutch.

The answer to why it was changed is women. They complained that the =
clutch felt to heavy. Did not like to have a big left leg muscle. How =
