Bent clutch fork?? (pics...and short video)

Well i was replacing my clutch MC today and noticed my clutch fork has ALOT of play in it...how much is there supposed to be? Here are some pictures....there is about 2-3 inches of play! I've been having grinding problem so I replaced my clutch MC but haven't had a chance to test it out b/c it's leaking from my dumb **** not putting the oring in there and then it started raining! Let me know what you think!

Bent clutch? Nope. Bad transmission? Yup.

take the slave out of the tranny, make sure the cap is of the resivor, get back under the car and push the rod all the way down, hold it for a sec and let it come up all the way up, repeat 10x or until there are no more bubbles coming up in the resivor.
