It really doesn't matter if he changed the clutch or not its still one reason this could be happening. And now that i read the post I see your comments are incorrect. Pushing in the clutch/the slave moving is what makes the clutch disengage not engage. Thats why he needs to make sure that when the slave cylinder retracts that the clutch fork moves back freely. Essentially with it getting stuck its like having the clutch pushed half way in all the time and thats why you can shift without using the clutch. It has to be either that or the pressure plate is failing.

The Slave cylinder would have nothing to do with this, if the slave was bad it would not be able to press the pressure plate and the clutch would not disengage.
