Because you suspect the clutch/bearing is worn out, I am wondering if you could extend the slave rod by placing a plastic cap from a tire schrader valve over the end. It would extend the shaft by 1/8in and might get you to the shop. Or it might last for a few weeks.

When the clutch went out on my 1964 Beetle, I drove it for a couple of months. The only problem was 1st gear: I would turn off the engine, engage 1st and then hit the starter and the gas pedal to get the car moving. The other gears slid into place by careful syncronizing of the rpm with speed. The beetle did not have a tach, just careful listening and never forcing a gear.
