the clutch is shot. you need a new one

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.
