Default Clutch problems.. HELP ME PLEASE

Ok so... Im not very mechanically inclined.. and I need some help. The other night I was driving home and as I was shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear, my clutch went straight to the floor and wouldnt come back up. It would still engage, but very roughly. One of my friends told me to check the clutch fluid in the clutch master cyliner to see if it needed fluid. I donno how to do this lol can someone help me?

The clutch fluid resivour is located on the driver side of the engine by on the fire wall next to the brake booster. You may have air in the line and need to bleed it while adding more fluid.

first check the fluid level, there is no sense bleeding if you need to breech the system to replace the master or slave, it will need to be bled after the install anyways. if the resevoir is empty, look down at the front of your tranny and you will see a steel line entering the slave cylinder. inspect around that area and see if that is what blew out.

if you got air in your line and or lost fluid then u prolly blew somthing out or you have a hole in your line.Other then that you shouldent have lost any fluid.
