wow, I'm by no means a mechanic, but the fork is suppose to be inserted into the black rubber boot on your transmission. Bleeding the clutch won't help a bit. Hopefully someone with experience will chime in, doesn't look good though. Are you even able to shift gears??

you need a new slace cylinder. no big deal man. do you have a twin plate clutch?
if the retaining clip broke causing the TOB to get stuck inside the pressure plate it could have caused the fork to kick all the way out and bend the slave cylinder. can you move the fork by hand? get under the car with a flash lgiht and check inside the inspection hole to make sure the fork still moves smoothly

edited.. the slave isnt even bolted down. did it break off the two mouting points or did you unbolt it already?

I agree. Finally a suggestion in here that make sense! People who stated the TOB and/or bleed the lines, please tell me you didn't look at the pictures before you posted...

Did you do the clutch install, or did a mechanic shop? The slave cylinder is totally unbolted and has fallen out of the fork assembly. The shaft could have bent and this happened because it was unbolted and left that way, or there was a problem with the shift fork and the bolts snapped off. I highly doubt it was the latter. I think the line would have blew out or burst open before you broke those two bolts with the pedal pressure and the force from shifting. If this isn't the case, this is the first instance I have ever seen that happen.

Good luck and let us know how it turns out!

especially if you still have stock rubber clutch lines.. if you take the bleeder loose with the clutch pedal all the way up and no pressure on it. See if the clutch fluids has pressure on it. If the cylinder has pressure on it without pushing down the pedal then the line has started to collapse or that will tell you that the cylinder is positively bad. Either way i wouldnt take a chance. get you a new slave and put stainless lines on (lower and upper) but as i said still get under the car and inspect the fork for proper movement
