Karl, did you bleed the system after adding the brake fluid? If the reservoir was empty and you depressed the clutch pedal in this state you need to get the air out that you took in. These days I bleed from the top using a tool I made from a rubber stopper, a small piece of copper tubing that fits into the hole I drilled into the stopper and my MightyVac suction tool. This actually is the new Chevrolet bleeding recommendation which I first found in my 2011 C6 shop manuals, and it is also out there in a service bulletin. I find it to works quite well. By the way, I believe Kent-Moore Makes the stopper-tube tool I mentioned for GM, but it costs about $70. I made mine from pieces I bought at Lowes for about 70 cents! Hope this helps.
