Default Low clutch pedal.

So i have a eg hatch with a b16 and it is converted to use a cable transmission. my buddy was looking under the hood and pressed down the release arm (the part that is now attached to the slave cylinder via the pushrod from the hasport kit)

after that i go to start the car and i realize that i have no pressure to my clutch pedal. the car would start but definately was not going into any gears. so i went and checked over all the lines for leaks. i didnt see anything unusual. So i try bleeding the clutch.

I get a little bit of pressure back to the clutch pedal. only enough to press the pedal back up to the point where the clutch switch is out and activated. so being curious i see if i can atleast put the car thru the gears and that worked too. so i drove it around the block and the car will go into every gear and drive and goes find with no slipping or anything just a clutch pedal that only moves a 1/4 of an inch.

WTF is wrong with my car?

hmm adjust it huh? like the clutch pedal itself? i dont think there is really any more room for adjustment. it feels more like a pressure issue. guess ill look for holes.
