This problem before or after the bushings?

Could it be that clutch components are worn/ broke/ need fluid/ need bleeding?

What about checking your Clutch Master Cylinder or Slave Cylinder for internal leaking down (either component bad), external leaking, or air in the system? Or even just low on fluid?
