you have to remove the clutch arm from the top of the trans because there is a stop on the arm stopping the shaft from spinning to release fork inside from bearing.
You need to pull the halfshafts, to get to the trans axle. Then pull the transaxle out from under the car and the release bearing is on the transaxle shaft, you'll need to get a bearing puller to get the bearing loose from it's housing.
If there were no operating clearance the clutch release bearing would constantly be in contact with the spring diaphragm causing wear on both the diaphragm and the bearing itself, also the bearing pushing on the diaphragm could cause the clutch friction plate to not be fully engaged and slip.
It will be due to the input shaft bearing in gearbox.
Yes. (The technical terms for the parts are the throwout bearing and pressure plate)
it needs to be between the fork fingers and the pressure plate release fingers

in order to prevent continuous rotation of the release bearing. This prevents premature wear of the bearing. To ensure that the full spring pressure and clamping force is applied at the clutch contact faces. This prevents clutch slip.
The 1995 Escort clutch has a single dry plate diaphragm spring type clutch. The clutch plate has a splined hub which allows it to slide along the splines on the input shaft. The clutch and pressure plate are held in contact by spring pressure exerted by the diaphragm spring in the pressure plate. During shifting when the clutch pedal is depressed, which transmits hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder to the release cylinder, pushing on the release lever so the throwout bearing pushes on the diaphragm spring fingers, disengaging the clutch.
(Assuming you have a hydrolic clutch system) When you push on the clutch pedal, you create hydrolic pressure in the master and slave cylinders, which in turn pushes on the release bearing (AKA throw-out bearing). The release bearing pushes on the fingers of the pressure plate. This takes pressure off of the clutch disc, putting the car in neutral, in a sense. Now you can change gears without damaging any of the transaxle gears. When you release the clutch, you put pressure back onto the clutch plate and pressure plate, which gives power back to the wheels if you are in 1st-5th gear, or reverse.
release bearing probably worn out,or pressure plate diaphragm fingers worn or broken, or possible input shaft bearing. at any case the clutch needs to be inspected and components repaired or replaced. I see release bearings go out quite often especially when driver likes to keep foot resting on clutch pedal while driving.
Just take the transmission off and the clutch will be exposed. Its that simple. Of course you need to remove the clutch cover, if any fingers are bent or broken, then replace the cover. While your at it replace the release bearing and pilot bearing.
Yes
