Horrible hard clutch pedal after hydraulic install

the slave has enough throw, cause it has about a 3 inch area of adjustment.
i put a spring on the fork to hold it to the back of the car, hooked up the fork end, and then on the bracket side that mounts to the trans, i made it to where it was just tight. no too much. then i took the spring off, and used it from the fork, to near the starter. . i basically uased the spring to put the fork under tension while i set up the adjustment
