think you need to check the front pulley ? with someone pushing the clutch up and down check for movement of the pulley if its moving in and out then you you need new crankshaft thrust bearings but it could be the actual crank has worn on the face that pushes on the thrust bearing ,common problem on older cars ,when at traffic lights always neutral /handbrake on foot off the clutch or am i old fashioned
if you have a broken thrust washer for sure ,you must have the gearbox out,,,,if you have it out then you would need to spend some time in a mental institution if you didnt do the whole job ,rerace it and do the job properly ,there is no cheapway to fix things it allways comes back and bites youfair square on the arse "youdoit"
