Default 97 EK GSR SWAP clutch problems

hi everyone, I'm new to the site but have used this site for many troubleshooting problems. I currently have an issue with this new car. Its a 97 Ek coupe, with a gsr swap. We swapped the swap from a ej1 (perfect running condition). The swap went in easy enough but now I'm dealing with a clutch pedal that has no pressure. The clutch is a competition stage 4 with only about 600 miles on it (worked perfect on the ej1). Replaced the CMC and the slave cylinder, along with the whole clutch line. I've taken the steps to bleed it and still no pressure. Any ideas or input will be greatly appreciated.

Seems like the CMC has a crap load of air in the system or you have a leak somewhere. How many times have you bled the system?

I did the clutch myself when the swap was in the ej1, I bled it once and boom perfect shifts. when I did the swap in the new shell I didn't separate the trans from the long block so I don't see there being an issue internally.

Since you have all new, MC, SC and line. Like Kyden said are you sure the rod is pushing the piston all the way?

If you are sure, then you need to perform manual tests. Sometimes things come defective, That's why always is good to charge the MC out.

Bench test the MC with a screwdriver, if is good then blow the line with air connect the line to the MC and repeat the test, If all is good install it again and test the rod travel. Bleed it again if not bleed you only have one thing left SC.
