Success!! Here's what I ended up doing.
I changed the hose that leads from the reservoir to the master cylinder after finding 4 big cracks in it.
I just kept bleeding the system the conventional way you bleed brakes. The interesting thing was that I often had to play with how I released the clutch to get the fluid from the reservoir to flow down.
After a couple hours I was about to give up, as the flowing of the fluid was getting trickier to keep up and I still seemed to be able to occasionally squeeze little bits of air out, but I decided to try the clutch before I tried the other method.
It was stiffer than it has been since we started this game, and so I started it up. All the gears shift as smooth as hot butter, even better than when we got the thing! I took it for a little spin and had absolutely no trouble shifting to-and-from any gear.
It's fixed!! Thanks everyone for posting, and I appreciate all the advice that you guys have given me!! Especially JD Seller. Your tips were what did it!
