Charlie, see if you agree with me here. One way to determine if it were
hydraulic or mechanical would be to carefully loosen the two bolts that
hold the bracket for the slave cylinder to the bellhousing (or perhaps
just the one bolt that holds the slave into its bracket). Either way, if
the slave cylinder "shoots" off towards the rear of the car, perhaps it or
the master did jam up somehow. If the clutch is still disengaged, your
problem is in there somewhere. It seems more likely to me that it is a
clutch or linkage problem as Charlie suggested.
