did you check to see if the pedal was all good? how about the clutch master cylinder, new oil in it?

The master cylinder may have to be bled. Also check the clutch pedal free play; if too much, it causes the problem you're encountering.

what do u mean it has to be bled and how do i fix the clutch pedal free play. Thanks for your answer i really appreciate it

Any time a new master cylinder is installed or if you drain/refill brake fluid, the master cylinder needs to be bled to remove any trapped air.

Bleed the master cylinder as follows:
Disconnect the master cylinder forward brake line connection until fluid flows from the reservoir. Reconnect and tighten the brake line.
Instruct an assistant to slowly depress the brake pedal one time and hold.
Crack open the front brake line connection again, purging air from the cylinder.
Retighten the connection and slowly release the brake pedal.
Wait 15 seconds and then repeat until all the air is purged.
Bleed the rearward brake line connection by repeating the preceding steps.

Check the clutch pedal free play as follows:
It should be 1.0 - 3.0 mm (0.039 - 0.118 in). Hold a ruler against the floor and up to the top of the pedal pad. Take a reading on the ruler at the pedal pad in the resting position. Now push on the pedal pad very gently until resistance is felt; at this point take the new reading on the ruler. Subtracting the two readings will give you the free play spec.

To adjust the clutch pedal free play, adjust the pushrod for the clutch master cylinder which is located under the dash at the top of the pedal assembly. The pushrod has a locknut which must be loosened. Now the pushrod can be adjusted. Also make sure the actual pedal pad height from the floor is between 186 - 196 mm (7.32 - 7.71 in). It can be adjusted with the pedal stopper lock nut.
