Check out Owen's idea up at the top of the thread about the linkage first. It's been so long since I got up into the belly of an M that I'n not even sure what washers he refers to, but you've got the tractor there. Find them and check it out.
This gets back to the finger adjustment thing. As Jim N pointed out just above, a clutch disc wears, the fingers move to the rear reducing freeplay. Normally you take care of this by adjusting the linkage. If it could (not sure it can and still function) wear to the point that they couldn't adjust the linkage any further, it's possible someone did some tinkering on the fingers to get some freeplay back, which would produce the eymptoms you're having.
You've obviously had parts of the linkage apart so it would bear a second and third look, front to back. If you're satisfied that it's in good order, then it may be time to get the cover up onto a bench and check it out. If it's anywhere near the specs I gave, leave it alone, it's not the problem. If it's not you can try to adjust it as I described or take it to a machine shop with the specs and have them do it for you (shouldn't be TOO costly).
