It almost certainly has virtually nothing to do with your clutch releasing properly. In days of yore, gears were cut with what they termed "square teeth" meaning that the end of the gear teeth were simply cut by running out the cutting die as opposed to somehow tapering the ends of the teeth. This results in endless grinding during shifting unless the drive train after the engine itself is at a dead stop. You are going to have to wait for things to stop before shifting unless you get proficient at "shifting on the fly"--most likely at the expense of your gear teeth which are worn to an unknown quantity. If you are lucky enough to have some sort of belt pulley or simply the shaft which drives it--you can watch it when you push in the clutch. When it stops you can shift without the "grind me a pound" syndrome--otherwise you are just going to have to push in the clutch, wait and be patient. There is no other substitute.
