no clutch pressure when changed motor mounts?

I changed my motor mounts to competition ones. When I put the motor down and tried to start the car. The clutch pedal went dead. But it was okay again I had to pump the clutch like when I changed the slave line. Does anyone know why that happened? It drives fine but it just seemed wierd to me.

This was the pic of one of the motor mounts defintely needed to be changed.

you might have lifted the engine so high that the clutch fork pushed against the tranny tunnel and into the slave forcing all the fluid back into the resevoir and lines.. then it filled back to normal when you pumped it

While moving the engine, maybe you pulled the clutch line or something...

Beats me...

Is your clutch line firmly screwed in?
