New to me 1979 FJ40 - have several questions on drivability.

4* would be a good guess, I guess.

Got two photos under the clutch inspection plate - one with the clutch in, one with it out. I also checked the pivot point under the dash and it seemed to move smoothly but only with a lot of pressure. I lubercated it but did not notice a difference.

You're missing the little spring that holds the clutch fork to the throwout bearing holder...
