its really a Chevy S10, the only Japan part is the name sticker. so what engines there? hydraulic clutch is auto-dusting after all air is bleed out of the system
diagnosing clutch can be bit tricky but here are those tricks (blew many up racing) the slave has a rod to a lever, if bleed ok, can be hard, as the tubes go vertical like a motorcycle or aircraft bleeding is hard. (on all) (bubbles float up as you force them down, dang a pain) (reverse brake bleed kit a godsend)
once done bled, i check the slave stroke distance. its about 1 inch stoke,(2 men test) no slack there, due to the hydraulic auto adjust. see slack yell load, air in lines. or rod fit wrong. so it moves about 1 full inch on the outer fork tip PEDAL to the floor, if yes and clutch drags, the clutch is bad.
one acid test of clutch is REVERSE, it's a NON Syncrho mesh gear, a real gear. and fussy, (nice for testing, I learned long ago) and will grind at the first bit, of clutch drag. its like the coal miners canary bird, help me...
I love clutches, learned to drive in 15speed dump truck. it had crash boxes... 5x3 double clutching all gears.all day long.
Check your clutch fluid level in the clutch master cylinder's reservoir. If low add brake fluid. If very low or dry, the clutch hydraulic system should be bled to remove air in the line. Bleeding is done down at the clutch slave cylinder on the transaxle. I would not recommend using a lighter oil. It may cause early wear of the transmission.
You still have air trapped in teh hydrualic clutch. Bleed again and again until you get the air out. try actuating teh clutch several times fast just before you bleed it.
the clutch is partially applied, that's why it is hard to shift. the synchros can;t overcome the input shaft spinning.
Unless this transmission was replaced with one using Hydraulic means of shifting? I know of none as a standard transmission?? Usually difficulty of shifting is because the teeth of the receiving gear is burred or broken?
pending on the type of clutch in the vehicle, you may be low on clutch fluid. (if your clutch is hydraulic) other than that it is most likely the entire clutch itself.
