replace or rebuild the clutch slave and master cylinder. Replace would be best bet along with replacing the line from master to slave. Its only a few bucks more for a stainless steel one so you might as well upgrade. I did it, and it looks cool and no more flexing!

Your clutch master cylinder is probably seized up from sitting so long. Do what Ian suggested, but I wouldn't bother with the SS hose. Theres no reason you would need that for the clutch hydraulics and you really don't need them for the brakes unless you do some serious track time.

Does That Mean The Cluch Is Hydrolic?

Make sure you're pressing on the clutch and not the dead pedal.

Note to self...give better instructions to helper next time when bleeding the clutch slave cylinder....
