I also  went throught the same problem.
Clutch grabing near the floor.
Replaced  the pedal box. elongated hole.
Tried the adjustable rod, not the  answer.
Should work fine with regular rod or something else is  wrong.
New cross shaft, fork & pin..
Another throw out bearing.
I  shouldn't admit this, but:
Swaped clutches. (used) there was a reason it  was lying around)
Tried the upper hole ; was just a temporary fix.
The  problem came back and there were no more holes to go to.
Finally bit the  bullet and ordered the Sachs Clutch from BPNW.
I did notice that the throw  out bearing that came with the kit was bigger 
then the stock one that was  in the car the last time I replaced it.

Good to go now.
