    Stiff pedal and lots of play?

    Just installed a new starter, clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing and slave cylinder (old one still had play and return, but figured safe rather than sorry.)

    Bled properly with a pressure bleeder, no air left in the system, however, the clutch pedal travels like 3in without resistance then it experiences quite a lot of force like it can't move - I don't actually want to push too hard on it for fear I'll break anything on it.

    I feel it's important to note that I don't have a driveshaft in yet because I want as much clearance as possible for diagnostics. Other than that, I'm STOKED AS HELL that my 325e finally runs!

    That would make me suspect that something is wrong with the clutch or it's installation.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
