Transmission... will not shift, clutch has no effect. I checked fluid in reservoir, it was empty. Filled it and still will not shift.Someone said maybe air in lines but no bleeder screw. I'am stuck right now appreciate any help...

Check the clutch fluid level. It will be a small reservoir close to the brake master cylinder. If the clutch reservoir is empty, add fluid.( brake fluid ) You may have to perform a bleed procedure at the clutch slave cylinder attached to the transmission Pump the clutch pedal several times and have someone open the bleeder screw until fluid comes out and the clutch pedal has its resistance back

Well, it's something any everyday do it yourselfer would take on. ( What portion of the 99% are we?)
The important thing is to stop the leak. It is the reason you are grinding gears (cringe!), and could quickly lead to expensive damage. Clutch (or brake) fluid is a hydraulic fluid, which works under pressure. A leak lowers pressure and reduces the effectiveness of your clutch. So to avoid the cost of a new or rebuilt transmission, stop the leak!
You need a few tools, of course....honestly, let a mechanic review your work after you fix the leak, because likely the clutch system will need to be bled down at the transmission to restore it to full efficiency.

check your clutch hydraulic reservoir fluid level. If empty, you have a leak. Find the leak and get back to me for repair steps.

check to see that you have clutch fluid filled up, usually a separate cylinder on firewall near brake cylinder reservoir,and I believe uses a brake fluid for the the clutch cylinder,once refilled if low,shifting should be o.k. hopefully

Did you bleed the air out of the system, also if empty there a leak some where. bleed system and check for leak's, look around for wetness could be a bad slave cylinder, clutch master or the line from clutch master to slave cylinder.

If it is a bright green, it is probably antifreeze, the reservoir for that is usually around 1/2 to 1 gallon. If it is about a cup to pint size, it may be clutch fluid. It should smell about the same as brake fluid. Usually clear or brownish clear in color.

Check the reservoir on the firewall near the master cylinder. If the reservoir is empty fill it with brake fluid and pump the clutch and bleed the air out on the side of the transmission.
