Clutch drag - Montesa Cota 248

Just bought this 1980 Monty 248. All appears cool so far, but a little bit of clutch drag is a bit of pain. Put it in gear and it's noticeable to the extent it's hard to roll backwards and tricky to find neutral. Any idea of possible causes?

Back in the day I put an unsuitable oil in my 348 that caused severe drag.  I had to strip the clutch and clean the plates in petrol to get rid of it.  Perhaps you may need to do likewise if you do not know what might have been in there.

They can't swell as they are all steel.
