If you can hold the clutch disengaged indefinitely then it's not the
hydraulics.

If the clutch seems either on or off and you cant feather it, then it
sounds like a bad pressure plate or maybe broken springs on the clutch disk

But that should also give some symptom in the higher gears, though less
pronounced

BUT...
If it's jerking and bucking a half second AFTER your foot is off pedal, it
has nothing to do with the clutch.
