No clutch pedal after slave swap

I have swapped out the clutch and slave cylinder on my 08 ES. After going through an entire bottle of fluid trying to bleed the clutch I still have no clutch pedal. Every time I bleed the clutch I get no air but still no matter how many times I bleed it, there is no feel in the pedal.

I have done a good bit of research but I cant find a solution. I have tried to overfill and i have bleed the entire system a significant amount of time.

No, I have had a buddy sit in the drivers seat pumping the clutch. I have been bleeding it through clear tubing into a large plastic cup. Fill from the top, bleed the entire system until there are no more air pockets and still nothing.

I tired the overfilling trick but that didnt do anying.

100% its not that light. I got it after going through the whole bottle of fluid and checked it myself. Ill try to see if will disengage but the shop its sitting in has been closed the last 4 days. I finally have time to go back today and mess with it and will double check but if it does work that is the lightest clutch I have ever seen.

haha... well, it is easier to push than the gas pedal....

anyway, if i had to guess, the master cylinder is not pumping enough to actually fill the hoses and the slave cyclinder... you probably still have air in the line.

will need a minivac to suck it through.

Minivac did the job. But now the car won't start. Rechecking all plugs and check the clutch safety switch.

Well damn. All plugs are connected, after switch is good and still no start. Battery is new and has a full charge.
