Can't get her into gear. HELP

She won't go into gear. Any attempt to get her into gear won't work, with the exception of trying to put her into reverse and there is only grinding.

Before, when I was at a stop light and had the cluch in, she would creep along like I couldn't get her out of grear.

Checked the fluid, and it's down to the bottom of the top ring.

Tried to pump the cluch a number of time, but nothing.

Cluch? Master cylinder? Slave clyinder?

HELP!!

Okay start here, with the car off can you move the shifter through the all the gears.

next can you start the car. if so with out moving, can you row through the gears with the clutch in?

All of this will help figure out what is wrong.

My master cylinder was bypassing back into the resevoir and did the same thing. The slave cylinder is cheap. I don't know what the master costs. It wouldn't be very hard to replace.

I just got my car back yesterday after it doing this.
It turned out to be bad master and plastic alignment tabs not being removed from the new clutch installed.
