Driving for a day without clutch fluid...
How bad is that? I just did this today. Clutch had been acting up, not shifting well and getting worse the past few days. So i get in to go to work this morning and it can barely get it in or out of gear and the pedal feels about usless but i was late for work so i said **** it.
After work it was the same so i stopped at a gas station to get gas and check it out. Opened the reserviour and the damn thing is BONE DRY, not even a drop in it and i can see down the tube a little.
So i **** a brick and go back in and buy a $2 bottle of fluid at the station, add a bit, close it, pump it a bit, and now the damn thing feels fine! Well not really fine, but it shifts fine and works again. Obvioulsy i need to bleed the ****** out, but does anyone have any comments on this besides the obvious "your a dumbass!"??

Yea i know i should bleed it, but should i bleed it completely, from top to bottom with new fluid. Because if there was eve a little fluid in the line then an air bubble may be all the way at the top near the resevriour.
