drradon,

Repairing the clutch hydraulic system isn't rocket science.

If you want to do it the easiest but most expensive way, you buy a new clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder and R&R them.

If you want to do it the most economical way, you get repair kits and rebuild the cylinders yourself. You need a small hone to resurface the bore in both cylinders.

To prime the system, you connect a hose from the left front brake caliper bleed screw to the bleed screw of the slave cylinder, loosen both bleed screws and pump the brake pedal to pump brake fluid thru both cylinders of the clutch system. After the fluid fills the clutch system, close both bleed screws and remove the hose. While filling the clutch hydraulic system, make sure the brake reservoir does not run out of brake fluid.

FYI: Usually the brake and clutch hydraulic systems use the same reservoir so the over flow from the clutch system will refill the common reservoir so you can't pump too much.
