I thought his problem was hard to engage when standing still.
Thick oil would only cause grinding while the car is rolling. IT
would actually help to slow the gears down and make engagement
easier when cold while standing still. My vote goes for dry
grease on the pilot bushing, gunk on the shaft and low fluid/air
in the hydraulics. In that order. Check the hydraulic situation
first cause it's the easiest. Then go for the others cause they
need tranny removal. While you have the tranny out you will want
to replace at least the disk and throwout bearing.

No NOT agree!
If the clutch disc will not slide easily on the splines, it will
drag on
the flywheel or Clutch cover, causing crunchy engagement, esp. when
cold, and cause there to be a lot of pedal travel in an attempt
to free
up the disc.
Not so?
