This part I agreed with and so rather than fiddle with the hydraulics, I took Barney's word and started the disassembly. But I was sure that that two theories could not be right - 1. friction disk st

I'm not really sure what kind it was. It was a standard clutch disc that I bought on sale in 1996 or 1997 as part of a set with the pressure plate for around $100. I'm thinking it was a Beck Arnley b
