Did you bleed the slave cylinder?

(Which is only really necessary if you undid the hydraulics, which a lot of people do, don't know why.)
Say you did: First, let's try to save you some work. Go make sure the reservoir is full . If it's lower than the blue hose coming off the side of the reservoir, that's air in the system. Push the pedal down and pull it back up about 50 times. If you get anything resembling a normal pedal, go drive the car, it will likely fix itself the rest of the way. Secon, if that doesn't work: Go under and remove the two slave cylinder bolts, back it out a bit, turn it upside down, and more importantly downside up. Then gravity bleed the system, keeping reservoir full. Reinstall slave in correct position, try it again. Don't take car down until the pedal works; you may not be done yet.
