Default Clutch problems

Ok yesterday i was drinving home from a friends house when my car stopped shifting...so I get home and I checked the clutch master and it was bone dry I added clutch fluid in it and started it up and pumped the clutch and it seemed to be fine...this morning when i went to leave for school the clutch wouldnt even engage so me and a buddy bled the system out and it had alot of air in the lines, after we got done bleediing it it was shifting beautifuly then all of a sudden again it starts not shifting again but heres the thing if I pump the clutch a couple of times it will go into gear....the only gears it has a problem going into is first and reverse do you think maybe I have a bad line or maybe I need a new clutch master....please help me guy....thanks for your time

Sounds like more air is possibly in the lines.. worst comes to worst buy a new master, they really are not expensive and it will eliminate some problems if not fix it.

The brake fluid that was in the clutch master doesn't just disappear magically. You probably have a leak somewhere. I'd bet its at the slave cylinder hose. It's only a few bucks at autozone. By the way, clutch master and clutch slave are about $25-35 a piece from autozone as well.

It could be leaking from the seal around the pushrod that goes into the master cylinder in the inside of the the car, thats what happened to mine.
