The clutch master cylinder and the slave cylinder are sold two diff ways one to bleed this is a sealed unit and it comes with the two cylinders and line then you install and cut the holder on the slave but if these are okay this problem is common when the clutch needs to be replaced because it goes over center. Here is a video that shows a clutch repair ion a similar car the process is the same

Yes when the slave is inverted as in clutch not pushed in the rod should be right against the arm then when the slave cyl extracts it should move the rod. If it is extracting and retracting as you operate the clutch. Then you have a problem with the throwout bearing or clutch. Inside the bell housing

The fork is to far away from the slave for it to push it so I ordered a clutch kit and installed it watching the video you gave and all fixed! I love this site.
