Sounds to me like the fingers are catching the taper pins on the clutch shaft on the gearbox.
Can happen for two reasons, the fingers are set wrong (usually too far in), with a very lw pedal. Or if the spring on the pedal is fubar allowing the pedal to come back too far.
I cant say Ive ever had problems because of wear in the fingers, the pivots or the slots in the bearing. I simply set the fingers so that when you put a straight edge across the crankcase you can just put a 1/4 spacer between the straight edge and the finger. Put some pressure on the finger with your thumb to take all the slack out. Set all three the same and your good to go.
Similarly Ive never seen a bearing that has worn all the way through, at the end of the day thry are usually equally worn at all three points. With the fingers set as above an unworn bearing will have very little play in the pedal before everything is touching and a high pedal. A slightly more worn bearing will have another 1/4 play at the pedal.
So its engine out I'm afraid
