Clutch Fluid?!?!?!

i pretty much figure out that my problem here is due to lack of clutch fluid but id figure i share this with you

i warm up my car every morning before school and went it was finally warm i leave, the only problem i know of my gears are engaging. so im like WTF!!. so then i go check my clutch fluid, and its bone dry. i cant believe i overlooked that. so when i got to work later im gonna fill it up, i can use brake fluid if i want though right.

Yes you can use brake fluid, and get your master & slave cylinder checked mine were shot when I got rid of the car, I had to add fluid every other day.

its much easier to bleed than the brakes... no wheels have to be removed... just have help to push and hold the pedal.

As for the resivoir being dry, that means there is a leak somewhere... hydraulic systems do not "use" any fluid. Theres a good chance its the slave cylinder, which is pretty cheap.
