First I'd make sure the slave cylinder is properly mounted and moving the release fork in the transmission. Your resistance to the pedal and return are mostly controlled by the clutch pressure plate springs.

If the slave cylinder isn't moving the release fork you may have air in your hydraulic line or a bad slave or master cylinder. You will have to jack up the car and have someone push on the clutch to see if the slave cylinder is moving the fork.

Check the fork and see if it's tight in the transmission and doesn't have a bunch of play.

Make sure you have fluid in the reservoir in the frunk, then have someone help you bleed the system from the slave cylinder. I used a vacuum brake line bleed kit from Harbor Freight and did it without help.

Keep us posted.
