Default swaped motor now clutch pedal is stuck on the floor

i recently swaped motors and now my clutch is stuck to the ground. i thought that maybe it would fix itself once the motor was running again but its still stuck on ground. everything was working fine before the swap. thx for your help guys!

sounds like the slave cylinder on your new swap is bad. replace and bleed it.

The slave may not be bad; bleeding the cylinder can take some time and effort. Get a buddy, have them open the bleed valve while you pump the clutch up and down. You or your friend should open the bleeder valve while the person in the car pumps 3-5 times. Repreat. I recommend making your friend do the pedal work. Also, make sure you use the right clutch fluid and continue to keep the overflow full. Be persistent, mine took forever.
