Clutch pedal has no pressure!

[NEADmike]

My clutch pedal has no pressure. It moves up and down freely though, it does not stick to the floor. I am trying to bleed it and it will not push even air or liquid out of the slave cylinder if I push the pedal in and out. It was working before and we ran the master cylinder dry without knowing it so I filled it back up with fluid and started bleeding it again, then the pedal just went completely limp! We took out and inspected the slave cylinder and master cylinder to make sure they were flowing ok and that there were no leaks and everything checked out ok. How do I get pressure back in my pedal so I can bleed the clutch? Will one of those things you hook up to the slave cylinder that works as a vaccuum to pull through brake fluid and bleed it work? That's the only thing I can think of because I have tried bleeding it by pushing the pedal up and down for hours with a friend and there is still no pedal pressure. Someone please help! Thanks!

Best regards,

Yes, a MityVac would help, but it sounds like you keep sucking air into the system. You can't let that master resevoir run dry. Phoenix Systems have just come out with a hand pump that goes on the bleeder to fill the system from the bottom and bleed it that way, but the damned things cost $135.
I'd also be suspicious of an internal MC leak.

If you mean a leak at the boot on the inside of the car like at the pedal, I already checked when I adjust the pedal and saw no leak. So I am hoping this will fix it...
