I am new to the DSM forum but I have been building cars my whole life, unfortunately not too much experience on clutches.

I have a 1997 Eclipse GST. I had the transmission rebuilt 8 months ago and at that time a new clutch, pressure plate and TOB was installed. It was running great and then this last week my clutch pedal went to the floor and stayed there and would not go into gear.

I re-bled system hoping I could get it home with no luck. Towed it home and replaced the slave cylinder and Master cylinder. Bled system again and adjusted the Master Cylinder. Watched Jacks video on youtube and as far as I can tell I do not see any air bubbles coming out and when you push the cluch the slave cylinder is pushing the fork just fine. Everything should be done right but still wont go into gear and if I try it grinds.

Is there something else I should do am I missing something? When they did the transmission they did not put in an OEM TOB. How do I know if I missed something or if it is a clutch or TOB failure. Any help is appreciated need to get the car on the road again. I am eager to learn. Here is the noob in my what is 1G vs 2G....
 
I bought a new OEM TOB and the pivot ball and fork were in good shape didn't need to replace. I shimmed the pivot ball to get it back to where it needed to be. I did replace not only the slave cylinder but also the clutch master cylinder. I ran a new steel braided line to the slave cylinder, so it all is new. I will have to drive it a bit more to see what it is doing. Anyone else experience what I described above?
