Replaced clutch master cylinder, why cant i still shift?

[kenjiw]

So as i was on the road, i suddenly couldn't shift so i pulled over to the side and turned off the car. I was able to shift fine into all the gears with the car off, i decided to call my dad for help. My dad got into the car started it up and tried shifting it as well but then he threw it into reverse and was able to get it in and after that, we were able to get it into first when the car was on.

So we tried to rush it back home and as i shifted, i was able to get into second and then third and it happened again. So i coasted to a stop and the car just stalls and i tried to start it again and it cranked and made a really bad noise in the engine. So my dad tried and gets it to start and limps it back home in first gear. I went and checked my brake fluid resevoir and it was empty so i looked at my slave cylinder and it didn't seem to leak.

I checked my master clutch cylinder and it was leaking so i replaced it and bled it and adjusted it. I figured that would solve the problem so i turned on the car and tried to put it into gears and it just wouldn't go at all just felt like hitting a brick wall, no grinding no nothing except for reverse gear it would grind. The clutch pedal also feels very loose at the very first inch when you release it.

I would really appreciate the help i have no idea whats going on with my car right now .

Did you bleed the slave properly? If you put in a new master, did you adjust the rod properly too?

Its always a good idea to replace the slave and master together, since they are directly associated, and contamination of one leads to contamination of the other.
