Bleed the clutch line. 1. Open clutch fluid res. 2. Take piece of rubber/silicone hose and attach it to the bleeder on the slave cylinder. 3. Stick other end in the res. 4. Keep res. full and pump away. When bubbles stop coming out, the pedal should start to feel stiffer. Retighten bleeder and drive away into the sunset.

Thanks for the help im going over to bleed it in a couple hours. I'm really hoping this does it.

ok so i went over and bled there and bled the clutch...alot. Still no pedal. So i took the boot off the slave cylinder to find fluid. Slave cylinder is shot right? Can it just be coincidence that this happened to fail right after the new clutch was installed?

Well that would do it then. If you have fluid coming out from the boot on the slave then its shot. They aren't that expensive though. It is fairly common, especially if the slave was old and you upgraded to higher pressure clutch.
