I lost the hydraulic clutch the other night and had to speed-shift that evil vindictive f@cking car all the way home. (I hate this car, one problem after another but I WON'T let her win!)

Checked it out, found fluid leaking out of the slave cylinder. Blown seals, right? Swapped in a known-good used one. Checked the old one and it appeared to pump it's fluid out ok, so I thought to myself 'Hmmmmm...' Crawled back underneath the car car and played with the throw-out fork, which was all the way to the rear and I could move it back and forth by hand. Uh-oh. Bled out the new slave cylinder and wound up with fluid coming out the push-rod end again.

So, has the fork broken, or jumped off the pivot, or did I break the finger springs on the pressure plate, or what? And the clutch should be released if the fork is all the way to the rear, no? S'ppose I'll have to pull the trans to find out (Yeeesh, on my drive-way in the winter in Canada). Would the excess travel with the fork to far rear-ward like it was cause the slave to leak like that, or did I pop the seals and pooch it? I've never been inside the hydraulic push setup bell-housing before, what's different from the cable pull setup?
