I haven't tried pulling the clutch off yet, but I did clean all the dirt off with brake cleaner and then hit it with pb blast to loosen it up. It seems to go a little longer before the clutch stops working, but it still quits. I'll try your cleaning method next.
Just for you...I just measured one for you.
I got 0.010 in. or .054mm on my feeler gage.
Try the electrical ...Like jumping straight to the battery with 12volts and then drive for about half and hour. I have a 97 and every time it has been the connector. Did you check the pressure with a recharge kit...that has a gage? I bought one with a gage for 40 bucks (R134A).
