Default New Clutch Not Engaging

I have a 1995 Accord
2.2L non-VTEC
Manual 5 Speed Transmission

I just replaced the clutch and after putting everything back together the clutch is not engaging. Ive tried adjusting the clutch pedal, Ive bled the lines but to no avail. Any idea what may be causing this or what else I should check?
Thanks in advance

it isn't doing anything when up go to clutch out? maybe the slave cyl. went bad?? top your fluids off. not to question your mechanic skills but did you 100% put everything back together properly, use the right torque specs??

did you wipe the grease off the spline? or did the grease fly all over the flywheel, disc, so on and so forth and you are slipping like a fiend?

if your hydraulics are fine, its time to drop that transmission again.

Did you reconnect your throw out bearing properly?

Just wanted to come back and let you know the final outcome.

Couple things may of played the part:

1) My mechanic used some lock-nut stuff and I guess a little bit got on the flywheel and adhered to the clutch disc. (When we removed the tranny again he said he had to just about pry the 2 apart.)

2) Was the Slave cylinder. (Noticed when I was manually moving the clutch release fork that it was very loose and able to move side to side and up and down with ease.)

Replaced the slave and now everything works. I can go back to pretending im Speed Racer in my Stock F22B

Thanks for all your input.
