To mention a few added items Ive replaced so far ,drive S centerlink bearing,frt &rear DS dampners, slave cylinder, bleed system.

"releasing" (highlight above)
Are you referring to the action of the pedal? Is the pedal jerky as you bring it up from the depressed position? Or does the word "releasing" actually mean the
engagement characteristic of the clutch, that is, that the pedal moves smoothly but the clutch grabs or is jerky?
"wont hold"
Does the clutch fail to engage at all?
Does light pressure on the clutch pedal silence the noise you hear?
One possibility is that the transmission output yoke has stripped splines. The splines may just hold for forward rotation of the shaft, but not for reverse.
