Oh. On my old one im sure the biting point was in the sky when the clutch went.
Have you checked gearbox oil?
No oil would make them crunch

Yes it'll be the clutch cable adjustment, just adjust it up a bit near the top of the gearbox. Its got a nut you need to turn.

Normally the low biting point indicates clutch on the way out but try adjusting it 1st and see how you go.
And i think the crunching is related to the syncromesh i think?
