NO. Use DOT 3 Brake fluid only.
You add fluid to the clutch reservoir. If it is empty, you have a leak and probably got air into the system. Proper repairs should be done to correct the problem.

If the clutch won't engage, the clutch disc or pressure plate has probably broke apart. If the clutch won't disengage, the clutch hydraulic fluid reservoir is empty because of a leak in the system.
Check the fluid level in the clutch reservoir. If it is empty you have found the problem. An empty reservoir means you have a leak in the system. It could be the clutch master cylinder, the clutch slave cylinder or a hydraulic hose that is leaking. Any air trapped in the hydraulic system will give the clutch pedal poor performance so, simply filling the empty reservoir may or may not restore the clutch operation.
Sounds like a bad master cylinder or slave cylinder. Also make sure you check the clutch fluid it is probably empty. Add fluid and check the next day or so if it is almost empty itis the problem listed above. Also but not probable leaking line. Also check security of clutch master cylinder to bulkhead.(Had a pathfinder with similar problem!)
