It sounds like a linkage issue if it's only the release lever moving. The only thing that holds that end of the clutch adjuster into the clutch fork is pressure from the linkage and the springs. If the retaining spring 13, is good and the pivot ball 12 is good then I would look at the pivot bushings in the cross shaft for play 9, 11 and 18, they tend to wear fast on the older Jeeps.
