Very good explanation, thank you!If you can push on the fork with the engine running and in neutral and hear a grinding noise that sounds like a damaged throw out bearing and/or pressure plate. Another thing you can do to verify the problem is remove the slave cylinder then remove the rubber boot around the fork and look down into the bellhousing and see if anything looks damaged. The way you described it, it sounds like you need a clutch. The reason for your hydraulic problems is because the slave cylinder has to travel too far for the fork and throw out bearing to apply the pressure plate. Hope this helps.
