truck wont shift into gear

[mazdamama]

i just put a new clutch and slave cylinder in my 1994 v6 and i bleed the system as good as i think i possibly could, and the cutch pedal still doesnt feel like its building up enough pressure, i have searched the hydraulic system for leaks and not found any. When i turn the car on it shifts into gear very roughly, and will not shift into reverse. the wheels begin to spin while the clutch is still in and the only way to stop it is to kill the engine. it also feels like the clutch has quite a bit of travel before it builds up pressure. does anyone know any tricks for bleeding the hydraulic lines, becuase it is possible that there may still be some air trapped somewhere, or maybe the slave cylinder isnt moving enough to disengage the clutch, if anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated.

Might have a lot of tiny air bubbles in the system. Let it set over night and try bleeding again. Don't go nuts on pumping the pedal.. slow and steady. I've had reverse bleed (push fluid through the bleeder, back through the system) to get the air out of motorcycle hydraulics, before.

If re-bleeding doesn't work, make sure the firewall, where the master cyl mounts, isn't deformed slightly (towards the engine compartment).
