Question cluch/transmission problem...help!!!

When I was driving along today, I stopped at a light and put her in first grear. Noticed the RPMs dropped and she kept moving forward. YIKES! It was like the cluch wasn't engaging.

Now she is hard to get into gear at times. Other times, not problem and shifts very smoothly.

Is this a cluch adjustment? A transmission problem?

HELP!!!

Thanks in advance

Ya, same thing happened to me.
It was a bad master to slave line.
Replaced the hose and bled the slave and off I went.

Same as bleeding the brake system:
Just hook up a hose to the valve and put it in some brake fluid. Open the valve, then go inside and move the pedal up and down a few times. You'll want to do it enough times so that the fluid coming out has no air bubbles. Keep reservoir filled. You may need to pull up on pedal if it remains down. When clear fluid comes out, close off valve.
Make certain which part is faulty, or for the inexpensive cost, replace all.
