Just had a thought, have you checked your pressure plate, chack that the round
disc thing inside it(The bit with the fingers on it that the release bearing
presses) has not cracked, I have had two crack before and they gave the same
symptoms you describe, if you don't understand my description(I am having
difficulty myself) just let me know and I'll try to explain clearer.
