Correct me if I'm wrong here but to do damage to the clutch I would have had to pretty much beat the crap out of right? I guess it could have sustained damage from the PO(s) but it ran fine before I changed the oil.

17k is enough for the previous owner to wreck the clutch. clutches grab much less when cold, so maybe you just haven't noticed it before?
the point i was trying to make is that, the chances of it being worn out springs as opposed to worn out clutch plates or a binding clutch cable, or like... anything else are pretty slim.
i just don't like when people suggest that the solution to a problem is to buy fancy parts. 99% of the time thats not the real solution to the problem, even if it makes the problem go away.
