Is the plastic clip that holds the push rod into the clutch fork still intact?

Jim.

I'll have to check
I would have thought that if it was a problem with the fork, slide, or bearing then it wouldn't matter what I replaced in the hydraulic system the symptoms wouldn't change.

Remember we are not dealing with large clearances here its in the order of mm's/thous. I have always been told to check mounts when dealing with clutch shudder, never really had it explained to me though.

Correct. Torque is inducing movements in a component that shouldn't spin!
