my clutch has no pressure, but i can still put it into gear just no movement at all. Is it completely gone or do I just have air bubbles going threw the line. I really need to know and get it fixed!

Same hydraulic fluid reservoir supplies both brake and clutch master cylinders.

Hello, I am having problems with my clutch. It is not a constant problem, but every once in a while (usually at least once a day) when I try to shift into first or second to take off just after starting the car or while in heavy stop and go traffic...the clutch feels "hard" and I can't get the shifter into gear then if I take my foot off the clutch for about 5 to 10 seconds, it will let me shift into gear. Can you tell me if this means that my clutch is going out or do I need to add some type of fluid?

You have a hydraulic clutch so check resevoir be on bulk head near brake master. If good then problem in clutch master or slave
