Funny you mention the fill Mark's as when I previously filled it with the fully synthetic it was spot on the upper mark, maybe this also contributed to the clutch drag!?
I have now filled the sump with the Smith n Allen oil .. up to the upper level.. so if I get a bit of drag again I guess I could try dropping a little oil out and see how the clutch behaves. It was perfect before the first (synthetic) oil change and then gave problems, I didn't check the old oil level before hand so have no reference point apart from the indicated oil max n min Mark's.
