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.

Which it did, but also reduces the stroke of the slave cyl, which can cause
clutch release problems if there is wear in the pivot points of the linkage=
