Default New Clutch problem

I have a 31 model A that was operating fine and is now having a problem with the clutch or something sticking.

When starting the car in neutral, depress the clutch and trying to shift into gear, the transmission is still spinning and will not allow you easily shift into a gear. If you slowly feel the gear sync you can get it into a gear and release the clutch and the clutch feels good and has good travel in the pedal engaging and disengaging the clutch. Putting the transmission back into neutral and selecting another gear has the gears spinning again.

I took off the inspection cover and can see the throw out bearing engaging and disengaging when the clutch is operated. The clutch plate, springs and fingers look like they are in good condition. Atleast what I can see. The throw out bearing slider has been lubricated. Not sure if any of the bearings are wore or the last time they were replaced or inspected.

So my questions are is there anything I can try at this point or is a new clutch assembly and bearings in my future? If I do need to remove the transmission (rear end assembly removal method) what should I change out while I have it removed?

Was looking at the following clutch kit from Macs (link below). Should I change the pressure plate while I have it apart? How about throw out bearing hub or spring? Any other parts, gaskets, tricks, or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your help.

Jeff
