    Where does the grease come out at ? Keep pumping until you hear it popping or coming out from somewhere. Something about this just doesn’t look right.

    Notice the gaps circled in yellow. The one side of the fork is not even pressing against the bearing so the bearing is tilted (site did not like the work starting with coxxed) and not fully releasing the clutch. Possibly a broken fork or a severely worn bushing/bearing where the shaft attaches to the fork. What part of MD are you in?
    Does need to be greased but that won't cure this problem.
     
    Diesel Dave and AModelCat Thank this.

    Looks like this spring is broken.

    With 3k miles on that throw out bearing with no grease, it’s probably fried.
