Horrible hard clutch pedal after hydraulic install

Did it ever work with the mechanical linkage?

I can only see 3 possibilitiesÂ…Â….

1. It is working but you are trying to over travel the clutch fork.
2. You have it set up wrong and you are pushing the TO bearing towards the trans not the clutch.
3. Something is wrong inside the bell-housing.

.i have it set with no freeplay on the clutchfork.
i had to just run out and check, but it is pulling the clutchfork the right way
i took the dust cover off, and had friend push clutch, and it all works. there is no binding in the bell-housing.

just a hard pedal. if it was not bled totally correct, could it be trying to compress air?
