Clutch issues - mount or pressure plate issues? 200 1984

I've got a square transmission mount on my 84's M46. Everywhere I look, it's supposed to be round like the replacement I bought. It looks old and squishy. I also have issues with shifting into 1/2/R that amount to the clutch still making contact with the pressure plate.

I thought it was a clutch cable issue a couple times, but since I've adjusted that way way out, I can feel the clutch fork bottom out before the pedal does.

The next two things to cross my mind are that somehow the mount being the wrong one (square is for autos) and old are causing the issue, but I am pretty sure I can still feel the fork hit the limit of its travel when I'm having the issues.

What about pressure plate fingers that have weakened over time? Does this happen?

Cheers!
