I ran my clutch slave cylinder reservoir dry. Do I need to bleed my system?

Is your clutch working ok now that you have fluid in the reservoir?

I had to bleed my clutch system when I changed fluid and then again later when I changed to a steel braided type hydraulic line.

It drives, just no pressure when engaging clutch, sometimes is hard to change gears

It sure sounds like it to me.. Have you seen the clutch bleed procedure in the Field Service Manual?
