Try pumping it like a lot of times after you top it off. It seemed to work for me although I need to check up on it.

have you ever bleeded the clutch by yourself? it takes a lot of tries, and you can't let air back into the system or else you have to start over...

you kinda need another person to keep adding fluid if you're bleeding it too fast...

where are you located, i could make a housecall (but i'm not a mechanic), but i have replaced my clutch master cylinder at home, so i think i can figure this one out

3/4 up sounds like the normal stock engagement point. if it was half way before, you probably had low fluid or air.
