After installing new clutch the pedal sticks to the floor

But only if I push it in all the way really hard. I bled the brake fluid (which was a B-word and a half). Any ideas what may be happening? I have a new throw out bearing as well.

And you need to bleed the clutch fluid, not the brake fluid

If you pop your hood, on the driver side of your engine bay there is a valve on the front of the transmission. You have to bleed the clutch instead of the brakes.

The clutch runs off the brake fluid from the master cylinder. And yes I did vacuum bleed it.

Okay, Just making sure buddy.. I had terrible clutch problems in my previous balt. Did you check your Master cylinder? My old master cylinder kept breaking and kept coming through the firewall, make sure yours is securily attatched to the firewall behind the fuse box under the hood when you press on the clutch. If you press on the clutch and the master cylinder comes off the firewall a little bit, theres your problem.

a vacuum bleed i have found doesnt always take care of the problem 100%. i vacuum bleed to get some pedal feel and then do a 2 man manual bleed afterwards to ensure the airs out.

double check all your work. lines, distribution block and all that stuff..... its very easy to kink lines which will cause issues and such. if all that is good then your clutch isnt bled enough.
