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

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.

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

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
