Not sure what I did wrong


So I just finished hooking the Tranny back up after the SPEC install. I started the car up after lying dormant for weeks. 3 stutters than she came right on. Surprised really usually I have a tough time starting after not driving the car for a while. Must be the New red top....So I start the car up but I notice that the Clutch pedal is super soft..not to mention I didn't put the holding clip in it (test run) but the pedal was really soft. I looked under the car at the Tranny and saw that the Little Tranny plug I made (cut Driveshaft tip off) was spinning around WTF If the car is in neutral that part of the tranny shouldn't be spinning right(BTW I did not have the Driveshaft in just the homeade plug)? So I got in the car and simulated a shift. The Pedal was really soft...I actually was shifting gears without pushing the pedal in WTF I'd shift the grears and I could see the Speedometer increasing WTF When I shifted into first no response...but in second 3rd ETC THe Rpm's picked up a tiny bit but the Speedo went to like 25mph almost. I was doing all this without shifting the pedal. When I did the same shifting the Clutch pedal I still got no responce. The clutch pedal was really soft and it's like it wasn't engaging the clutch at all. But would that be reason enough to be able to shift the gears without engaging it? This is how I bled the Clutch. I left the Master Cylinder in the Car BTW. I had someone take off the Resivoir cover...then I pushed the Slave cylinder in holding it verticly. I could hear the fluids as I did this. Then we closed the Resivoir cap and I pumped the Slave Cylinder a few times, and then let it loose. I Checked for bubbles there were none. Then I attached it back to the car. What did I do wrong? Please help

You know that little door where we pour gas into the car, I would check that door hinge.

Sorry j/k, just wanted to give you a TTT

Sitting in N with the clutch engaged (pedal up) the tranny will turn unless there is something stopping it. IE: driveshaft attached to rearend, etc. If you have no pedal pressure there must still be air in the system. Try bleeding it with someone in the car like you would bleed the brakes.

Or you missed when putting the clutch fork on...

I doubt it. I was careful with the Fork...I didn't bleed the clutch right. I didn't remove the Diaphragm...live and learn.
