Did you bleed the line?

Bleed the line, and it might be the master cylinder.

after i took of the old slave cylinder and the line connected to it i pumped the clutch pedal until all the fluid was out of the resivor

Well that means you got air in your master cylinder. You NEVER want the reservoir to get low.

Did you then fill the reservoir and bleed out the air, topping the off the fluid in the reservoir as you bled?

Heres a thread to check out, it will go through pretty much all the diagnosing, and will give you a good idea how to bleed a system properly.

i was by myself so i filled the reservior then pumped it then closed the bleeding valve what should i do to fix this?

thi3v3z

Well you should really have two people, one to make sure air is coming out, and the other to control the clutch pedal.

FRKWOO

so what do i do have one pressing the clutch and the other.....?

if u have air in your clutch master cylinder you have to bench bleed it get a tub that connect to the opening of where the fluid comes out leading to the clutch master reservoir and pump until you dont see bubbles then install dont let it get too low on fluid
