Clutch gremlins

[blck325is]

I recently replaced my master cylinder ad my clutch worked fine for a while. Yesterday the pedal was really close to the ground so I checked the reservoir and refilled the fluid, after which the pedal regained firmness and pumped back to the regular level. Today the same thing happened and I tried the same remedy but nothing worked. When the car is off the clutch is firm enough to shift but when the car turns on it won't go into any gear. I have no idea what to do, anyone got any advice?

Oh and when I refill the reservoir some bubbles come up.

It sounds like the reservoir was low, which means fluid is leaking out somewhere. Were both sides of the reservoir low, or only the clutch side? If only the clutch side, there's a leak at the master, the lines, or the slave cylinder. If both sides are low the leak could be in the brake system.

It sounds like the clutch fluid got low enough to pull air into the system, which means that you need to bleed the system.

Am getting my power bleeder to see if I can rebleed the system then troubleshoot again. It's possible I messed up when I bled it the first time and forgot to top off the reservoir. Thanks though.
