I opened my reservior and its empty...poured some manual tranny fluid in and took it for spin....pressure slowly came back but doesnt seem like its fully back after a 30 min drive.....wat ya guys think tha prob is???? should i bleed the clutch lines for air???? if so how would i do that??? thanks alot

Tranny oil has NOTHING to do with the pressure you feel on the clutch pedal.

Check your clutch fluid reservoir. If it is ok, bleed you clutch line at the slave cylinder.

bleed the clutch slave cylinder first. has happened before. Also, your clutch master may be on its way out. Sometimes the lining leaks the fluid out. happened on my DSM before too.

Take the car to a shop and have the slave and master cylinders checked, if not you'll most likely be replacing the clutch and quite possibly the flywheel as well.

Yes, you put brakefluid in the reservoir it even says on the clutch reservoir cap. Anyways you said it was completely empty? correct? then you filled the empty reservoir and took it for a 30 min drived, dude you gotta go to the clutch slave cylinder and open up the bleeder bolt, than have someone else pump the clutch about 10 times doesnt need to be that number exactly but more than 5 will typically work than on the last pump have them hold the clutch all the way down and then you tighted back up the bleeder bolt nut, now check the reservoir??? if it drank all the fluid you just put in there then re-fill it and do it again, and keep bleeding it till it is completely compressed throughout the entire clutch system and holding the fluid in the clutch reservoir as well and you should be fine. goodluck
