Default 6 Spd Clutch question/problem HELP

I have a 2005 6Spd and i just replaced my heads, cam, valves, clutch, presure plate, throw out bearing, clutch master cylinder, and now when i press in my clutch, I cant put it into gear until i pull back on the clutch about half an inch? Ive blead the clutch about 20 times and I still cant figure it out..... any ideas?

How are you bleeding the clutch? Do you have a bleed line on the new bearing unit? What does the petal feel like, Hard of soft?

just might of found out what was wrong with it... when i replaced the clutch i also re surfaced my fly wheel. so apparently when you re surface a fly wheel you also have to shim the slave cylinder. but im also hearing that it wont fix the problem either. so im going to drop my trans and replace the fly wheel with a new fly wheel and hope that fixes the problem.

c6-13thpilot car: the petal feels fine and i am using a wrench on the bleed valve and holding the clutch to the floor and than closing, pumping and holding and re opening.
