After I changed my clutch I bled the system the conventional way but I still had a dead clutch. Then I tried using one of those one-man brake bleeding pumps and it worked very well. While I was down there I decided to take out the clutch dampener box (right before the slave cylinder) and it seemed to make the clutch more responsive.

And yeah, adjust your pedal correctly!

One more thing, did you make sure your clutch fork was positioned properly on the throw out bearing? It can be knocked out of place sometimes when you put the tranny back in.
