CLUTCH probs HELP NOW!

Ok I got my SS/SC last night, I made it 240 miles with zero problems, and when I was 1/4 mile from my house, I turned onto my road, downshifted to first, easied up to 3 grand, put it into 2nd, and it hooked up (not even close to WOT) and 2 seconds later, the engine revved and my car coasted to a stop, it was like the clutch wasn't even there. So I checked the reserve, and there was hardly any in there, so I thought I got some air in the lines, but I put more hydralic fluid from Napa in, pumped the clutch about a thousand times, and nothing! It can shift just fine, but when I put it in gear, with the clutch still completely pressed in, the engine will bog, like its going under a load. I am soooo pissed right now I have no idea whats wrong! PLEASE HELP ASAP! I gotta get back to school in 3 hours!

If you just bought the car I wouldn't mess with anything.... call GM have them tow it to the dealership and have them look at it.

THe hydrolics in our car are weak from what i've heard and clutches in these cars go fast. So it is very possible if the person before you was hard on the car and didn't drive right then this could be possible.
