Sadly, yes... because with engine off everything is stationary....with the crank and clutch spinning the primary gear turns and turns the layshaft and>>>on through the box. And as soon as you've got one gear on the mainshaft it all spins....
Even more sadly it could still be either the selector adjustment or the clutch operation.
I've found it easier to bleed the clutch (old skool style) with a
very long piece of pvc tube into a jar, and a cup of tea. The very long tube allows you to put the jar on the wing-top and see when you've created a bubble free system and the cup of tea makes you take your time and relax while you hold the pedal all the way down for a few moments as you do the job
