Talking One prob fixed, now on to the others

Okay, I was tracing my positive lead back to the alt and found a place that had some insulation burned off... sure enough I wrap it in electrical tape and hook the negative lead back up and I hear the key alert inside... I reach in making sure it's in neutral and she cranks!!!! It wont start up but that's not the topic of this thread (might be of the next one though LOL)

My clutch pedal is flat, it has no force on it at all, just hangs there. I was looking under the hood and do my eyes decieve me or does it have a hydro clutch? If so how can I get it bled back up to pressure?

Also I'm going to clean out my gas tank, anything else I need to replace besides fuel filter before putting new gas in and trying to fire it up?

Yes, you have a hydro clutch. It's common for the slave cylinder to crap out, so you may need to buy a new one. They're cheap. Master cylinder is a little more expensive, but sometimes it's good to replace it at the same time as the slave. Both are easy to replace. The slave cylinder has a bleed nipple on it, so just loosen it up and fill your fluid full and pump the pedal untill all the air is out of the line.
