Default prelude wont start spongy clutch

the other day while driving i was at a redlight. pushed the clutch pedal to go to first and the pedal just stuck to the floor. would only come back up if i pulled it by hand. got it towed home. checked the fluid and it was black. replace the clutch master cylinder and the slave cylinder. bleed the system with a one man bleed kit until only new fluid was coming through. went to check the pedal and its has a lot of free play until it gets close to the floorboard. the engine cranks but it wont turn over.

i posted two days ago asking how far the cmc pushrod should go into the clutch pedal but i got no answer. could this be my problem?

ha thats what i get for lighten up before asking for help. regardless both accords and preludes use the same hydraulic system, installation, bleeding procedure

found out there was an air leak where the one man bleeder pump hooked up to the bleeder hose.

for anyone that wants to easily bleed brakes or your clutch by yourself...
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!buy a brake bleeder kit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
