When I get home I can try letting it go slightly and repeat the test to see if the primary is spinning.
Just off the top of my head I feel like the clutch and the brake pedal are dead even when it's just sitting, and I can bottom the clutch pedal against the floor (at least that's what it feels like, never got down on my hands and knees to check) and that's what I'm considering the fully disengaged position.
But that would make me very happy if adjusting the clutch would fix this because that is kind of what I had originally thought as well. Way too weird for the gears to be this cranky across the board. But It's been to three dealerships and none of them said a word about it after driving it on the interstate no less, so I guess I naively was considering that data point as well.

The clutch is self-adjusting so the only way to get more throw is to raise extend the clevis adjustment and corresponding hard stop up top, which doubles as the cruise cancel switch.
It's no theory. I've adjusted my travel not to just simple disengagement but enough to be able to shift easily. I actually raised my pedal some after learning about the effect. It made quite a difference.
And I'm an older fart who thought he'd seen it all. I learned about it in a discussion here with @
