the v6 cars did not have a bomb, thank goodness !! sounds like a clutch slave cylinder. im not sure if you have to remove the trans, i have never heard of a car that you did thou for that. or maybe you popped the hydralic line that works it ?? is there fliud under your car ?? and is your brake master cylinder full ?? that is where it gets its fliud from.

I don't have the solution to your clutch issue, although I suspect it
relates to the hydraulic pressure container (the "bomb") in some way.
