idk if this will help but when my master and slave cylinders went out in my clutch i couldnt take it out of gear. i had to pump it up to get pressure. but it would start right up in second gear with the clutch to the floor and as soon as i let of the brake i'd be haulin ass with the clutch still on the floor. so i had took mine in to get the master and slave cylinders to get replaced

Start by verifying it's the slave (which it probably is). Look at the bottom of where the bell housing meets the block and see if there's fluid leaking there. If not check the master cylinder, both inside the cab and the outer housing.

You will not need to change the line most likely. However, you will need to bench bleed the master and line.

Don't bash your transmission!

Fill the reservoir back up.

Engine OFF. Depress the clutch.
Slip your foot off the pedal so it slams back to the top, repeat, repeat.

Hold the clutch pedal to the floor, start engine. Drive away. See if that helps.

Jamming it into first with the engine running is gonna trash your trans. Just shut off the engine! You can milk it till the weather gets better by doing that (fingers crossed).

When you shift to the other gears while moving, try to match the engine speed to the trans speed, lightly pushing the shifter to the next gear until it slides in. It takes a knack, but very doable.

Every time you stop, shut it off, put it in first, restart engine, pull out!
