won't shift

[supermario2004]

i have a late 70's toyota pick up with a five speed and 20r. i started it up and the whole truck jumped (clutch didn't engage). i was able to doulbe clutch it. i checked the hydraulic fluid and it was empty. after filling it there was no difference. any ideas or questions? i think it is either the clutch or the master cylinder but that is pretty vague.

its this a occuring problem in toyotas? I just assume that its the hydraulic clutch but I don't know. Can ANyone back me up or explain what it could be?

The slave cylinder for your truck is located down by the starter,i'd troubleshoot that first -you need to bleed the line now that the reservoir is filled up,do that until you get a good petal.If the clutch works but slowly fades,you need a new master or slave cylinder.If the petal feels good and you can see that the fork on the transmission is moving ,but still no clutch-you need one.I'd try bleeding it first though-how often before did you check the fluid?
