Going from memory, the Series2 is a hydraulic system to outside the clutch
housing. The slave piston works on a mechanical linkage which operates the
clutch. I think it has just one pin which is what I think has sheared.

The Series1 is a direct mechanical link to the clutch, full of wobbly bits
and link pins.

If it just needs fluid you can freely mix DOT3 and DOT4.

Clevis pin failure is not unheard of, and fixed without a dismantle other
than removal of the floor. Or hydraulic flex pipe failure (evidenced by
pools of fluid), failiing that something internal has broken - clutch
actuator lever or cover plate (not common)

I recently fixed a similar problem on my 2a clutch,
You can see exactly what broke as a before and after jpeg here:

Hydraulic, and as such sudden clutch failure can be a seal or pipe gone.
