Hey Steve,

I'm sorry to say it sounds like a classic case of broken clutch pin. If 
you're getting full movement from the slave cylinder rod & the clutch 
will not engage / disengage properly, then the problem must lay inside 
the bell housing. Disconnect the slave cylinder and try sliding a pipe 
or strong tube over the shaft arm & move it back & forth , feeling for a 
skip or looseness. It should have a positive stop fore & aft. If it 
stops & then you can apply pressure & feel it give it would be another 
sign that the pin is broken/sheared or binding enough to work partially.

We've all been there. Finally put the last nut & bolt in, cleaned up and 
look forward to a trouble free driving season. Then something happens 
that requires the entire job to be done over again because of a $5.00 
part =-O . I went through a summer having to do this job twice & again 
the following summer. It's BULLET PROOF NOW !!

Don't waste your time if you have eliminated  the obvious. If it's done 
right it will never be a problem again.
