clutch problem R53

So I R&R my engine the other day and now my clutch doesn't feel right. The engine was out over night. It seem to be working fine a month ago when I parked the car. Now it wont shift in to gear while the car is running. Also if you barely let up on the pedal the car moves.

Sounds like your either low on fluid, or the slave or master cylinder went bad and let air into the system.
Check the fluid level, even though the reservoir is the same for the brakes and clutch, the clutch line connection is higher and it could be just low enough to effect the clutch and not the brakes yet.
You still may have to bleed it out, even if it is just low...if so see this thread:https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...no-clutch.html

I'll check it out. I did put a board between the seat and the peddle last night.
