After trying everything else, except teflon discs, I've come to the conclusion that sticking has nothing to do with the oil or adjustment but is determined by clutch design, so what is needed is a properly designed clutch having plates that will separate when they are supposed to. Maybe there is a non-stick oil additive but then oil wouldn't stick to the moving parts and lube the engine properly.
The clutch adjustment only takes slack out of the cable, which determines how far back the pressure plate is pushed, again no relationship at all to the plates or how hard they stick.
I've noticed the whole clutch pack sticks to the pressure plate and moves back with it as a unit but the discs won't separate.
I've heard of clutches that have springs or O-rings between the plates which must be there to make them separate when they are supposed to so it must be time for a new clutch design.
