You made me think for a moment, Frank. Is the slave brace attached?  That'll allow some movement.

The clutch slave carrier that’s connected to the bell housing may be moving because where it connects to the bell housing has corroded away so now when you press on the clutch pedal the carrier moves instead of the slave cylinder rod.  Have someone push on the clutch pedal and someone look at what’s happening at the clutch slave.  If the slave is moving then there’s your problem.  I have a couple rebuilt bell housings here in stock, as I had a machine shop make up some stepped brass/bronze busings to replace the missing aluminum on the bell housing and hold that bracket in place.
