Default clutch problem

I replaced my clutch disc, pressure plate, and release bearing on my del sol. After everything was done, I went to press the clutch pedal in and had no pressure whatsoever. I noticed there was some fluid leaking from the slave cylinder so I just replaced that and tried bleeding everything thoroughly. I still have no pressure on my pedal. WTF could I have done wrong?

The release fork seems to slide back and forth freely. With the old slave cylinder in and the car running, I could put it in gear even with very little pedal pressure. I tried the same situation with the new cylinder and I can't even get it in gear.

You need to bleed your clutch of oxygen. Take a small tube and connect it to your slave cylinder, there is a small PSI line that allows you to do this. Then put tube in brake fluid, and pump clutch until' all the "bubbles" are out. Good luck, you will see what I mean when you look at your slave cylinder.

I tried already tried that. I don't really know how it would be air in the lines in the first place though because before I changed the slave cylinder, it still didn't have any pressure.
