There should be some forward and rearward movement of the clutch fork, it also needs to be properly engaged in the release bearing on the input shaft. Sounds like the release bearing is bound on the shaft which is what 67 Dart273 had previously mentioned. If that bearing is frozen on the shaft, the trans will have to come out I am thinking,
that and the fork may be bent/ boogered up from trying to work the clutch.

So if that is the case I should go ahead and get it all taken out measure the clutch plate and take pictures and order the clutcb because if the transmission has to come out why wouldn't I just replace the clutch while I'm at it. And get everything clean maybe replace some seals while its apart yoo because it obviously has some major leakage going on And I can order a new fork and rod set up that works properly.

Then everything should be fine with the clutch and I can at least drive it the way it was intended to be driven and start focusing on the other problems at hand like the brakes and exhaust leak. Plus or minus another dozen little things. Haha
