All of the above ideas plus check the mount, not just visibly but also try and prise it apart

My clutch has only done 7.6k and peddle to the floor when changing gears is, I thought standard for the Jimny.

Pedal to the floor when changing gears is or should be standard on all vehicles.

Maybe the clutch cable has become worn and started seizing in the protective sheath?

This happened to me and it eventually snapped!

Just had my gearbox rebuilt 2007 with 69k on the clock. I wasn't having trouble changing gear but gearbox was noisy and giving off a burnt smell. Turned out it was a noisy bearing that was making the whining noise. New clutch fitted as well as it was silly not to.

Coming from an auto transmission to the manual Jimny was a bit of a shock at first but once I got used to it, I found the transmission is pin accurate with maybe a little throttle blip now and then to maintain revs when changing up. I'm hoping for a bit of snow this winter to try out the 4x4 and heated seats.
