I'd say it's still a box problem from the sounds of it.
Going to have a look for the std escort one at some point. I'm sure it's in the garage somewhere.

The biting point is at the very top of the pedal travel. So if you are lifting the pedal for the clutch to engage its in the final 1/4 of travel. (if that makes sense )
Surely if it's nice and high up the pedal the clutch would be fully disengaging?
