Default No Clutch?

Hey, are you sure you bled all the air out? Is your clutch pedal nice and firm thruogh the full range of travel from the top to the floor? One way you can tell if theres still air is to pump the pedal 5-10 times and see if it will go into gear and then when you release the pedal you will probably have to pump it up again.

You may have to doubble check the hose that connects to the slave clynder. sometimes when the hose is not seated frimly it can cause your problem. How old is the slave clynder?

you might have to bleed some at the clutch master cylinder. Sometimes the air in that long hose going down is hard to get out. An old motorcycle trick.

There's a procedure for using a Mity-Vac to pull the air from the master cyl, basically just fill the clutch reservoir w/ fluid, use the conical tip on the Mity-Vac seated into the hole at the bottom of the reservoir, pull a vacuum, then quickly remove the cone so that the vacuum you created is backfilled w/ fluid from the reservoir.

Is it a OEM clutch? If not you may have to shim the throwout bearing.
