I was driving the car yesterday and all of a sudden it was pretty  
hard to shift the car into first and second gear so I drove her home  
right away.  I checked the oil level in the tranny.  It was fine even  
overflowing when I took the screw/bolt out.  So we figured that meant  
that there was enough oil in there that we did not have to fill it  
anymore.  SO  then we decided to try and bleed the clutch.  Yeah you  
all forgot to mention that doing this was going to be such a pain in  
the ass.  Anyway we went and got a "one-man bleed system" for the  
brakes (easy bleed).  Well that seemed to work now the only problem  
is that I have no pressure with the clutch peddle.  There were no air  
bubbles in the little tube so we tightened up the bleeder nipple  
thinking all was fine and we were done.  Then I sat down and tried  
the clutch peddle.  Straight to the floor with no pressure at all.   
Lambert even said that when he put his finger on the bleeder nipple  
and he felt no pressure at all.  I am getting liquid out but still no  
pressure.  We tried again but still nothing.  How we found out was we  
tried to drive the car around the block and I stalled it because the  
clutch is not engaging.  Any suggestions?
