Yes. But don't take my word for it.
(TO bearing thought was probably wrong)
Mechanic should have checked this all with a test drive. And should have found this.
1) Normal driving in any gear
(Foot OFF the clutch):
-The pedal is pushed back to top due to pedal return spring/bearing
-The clutch cable is pulled back.
-The arm in the transmission is retracted
-That arm pulls back the TO bearing
-Which lifts off the clutch cover fingers.
-There should now be small gap separation. 1/16" or something. I forget. The sides are split.
-Separated. Not causing wear on the fingers.
The clutch cover fingers lock the friction plate (burger) between the buns (clutch cover plate and flywheel)
Everything is locked in place.
Engine power direct to Transmission gearing.
Your case is that something is still pushing on the clutch cover fingers.
Something between the pedal and arm/TO bearing is not releasing.
