i accidentally let all the fuild drain out of the master cylinder and now when i put more fuild in the tank, the clutch pedal can't pump it anymore.. what is happening here?? i hope i don't need to buy a new master cylinder.

 

did you bleed it after you put in more fluid?

 

i tried to but the clutch pedal won't even pump. i'm totally at a lost here.

 

You are going to have to keep pumping your clutch until it stiffins. This usally takes about 30 to 45 min. to do. You have to take off the little bleader thing on your clutch. I think its an 8mm wrench or shocket will take it off. Once its off, put your finger on it and have someone pump your clutch 15-20 times, then let your finger off. The fluid will drain out, so you're going to have to keep putting more in. Keep repeating this until you can't hold your finger on it anymore. When this happens, put the plug back in. Now, you are going to have to loosen and tighten the blot until the pedal gets stiffer and stiffer. Its kinda confusing, but that is about the best way I can explain it.
