IMHO The engine should be in place and supporting that end of the driveshaft/clutch assl'y to properly adjust the clutch operation.
Is the driveshaft where the spring, and T/O bearing mount clean and smooth?
A little shot of WD won't hurt a thing where the spring compresses and the T/O bearing slide on the drive shaft.
If the shaft is worn or grooved from the spring and T/O bearing the bearing may be wanting to "cock" and hang up on the shaft where it slides.
Is there a lot of slop/play in the clutch fork hanger?
Worn holes and or pin?
