What you're describing sounds like it coul dbe a clutch that is hanging up on the mainshaft OR a clutch cable that is binding somewhere-just enough to keep the cable core from sliding smoothly................................................ If there is a significant burr or nick ANYWHERE on the grooves or splines in the section of the shaft that the clutch disc has to slide over it can keep the disc from sliding SMOOTHLY into or out of engagement. Or a binding problem with the throwout bearing.

Sounds like something is messed up in the clutch hydraulics..
