Clutch fluid

so, like an idiot i haven't checked my clutch fluid in a long time and i wake up to go to school the other day and my car wont go into gear for s***. i popped my hood and open the clutch M/C resivor and it is bone dry i was so pissed because it was my fault and there was nothing that i could do about it right then, so i had to drive it to school like it was. If you think your clutch is going out, check the fluid level.

just fill it up with some dot 3 brake fluid and bleed it. 10 min job. if your not grinding gears, and if you just noticed it, it probably hasnt done any real damage.... dont sweat it

There is probably some underlying issue as to why the reservoir was empty as well

true, you either have a leaky master or slave cylinder, or a leak in the line somewhere... time to investigate

or i guess its possible you bled the clutch not long ago and never added any fluid when you where done
