no tension on clutch pedal
Ive just done an engine install. bolted up all good but when I put my foot on the clutch now its way to easy, almost like its got no tension at all. anyone have this problem before? I'd hate to have to unbolt the tranny again

Take off the inspection plate and have a friend push the clutch in. You can see if it is disengageing the clutch or not, and go from there. Oh and make sure your slave is seated properly into the end of the clutch fork if it was not that would explain it not having much preasure.

Just like you bleed the brakes. The slave cylinder has a bleed valve on it. If you don't have a mity-vac or power bleeder, you'll need someone to pump the clutch pedal while you crack the bleeder.
One thing to watch out for is the fluid level. The OEM brake fluid reservoir is divided into two sections: one for the brakes and one for the clutch. If you aren't paying attention, you'll run the clutch side dry while you are bleeding (since you may only notice the brake side).

how do you re engage the clutch, I've looked in the peep hole in the trans and I think your right, It looks as though the ring that's supposed to go over the release bearing to lock it in place has not done so. Can I re engage the clutch through the peep hole or is this a whole trans drop job?
