Sounds as though the slave cylinder took a dump.
Is there a remote clutch bleeder added to your system, for easy
clutch M/C, line/ slave bleeding?
If so, it could have a faulty connection @ the slave.(crush washer, loose connection.)

You have to take out more than the tranny.
You are going to have to pull the torque tube, tranny & rear differential.
That is after you pull your exhaust from the collectors back & the tunnel plate.
Might as well be prepared for new slave, throw out bearing, remote clutch bleeder,& pilot bearing.
Would be a great time to repair any leaking seals, gaskets & o rings in the differential & tranny, maybe add a new clutch, pressure plate & fly wheel,
rear tranny brace, & adjustable clutch M/C or stock M/C
Lets not forget about replacing the fluids in the tranny, differential &
clutch resevoire.
There.. That should keep you busy,broke & tired
