new clutch new transmission, clutch doesn't feel right

I have a 99 Dodge 2500 Cummins I just replaced the clutch and transmission and now the clutch pedal is really soft. The truck is drivable, it's hard going into gear when not moving but I think alot of that is the syncronizers, while moving if you push the pedal just a little bit it starts to slip. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What kind of clutch, what kind of trans (type and local reman or?) and did you open the slave cylinder line at all?

Sounds like possibly needs new hydraulics, but tell us what clutch and mileage on trans, etc.

I have found that replacing the hydraulics with OEM or aftermarket parts is a good idea when doing the clutch...

It's a stock single disc clutch and a reman NV4500. I took the whole hydraulic system off and attempted to bleed it. It seemed to help a little but I never had any lines unhooked. I left the slave cylinder off for about a week and a half waiting on the transmission, could that have caused a problem?
