Put it in fourth, push down the clutch, and see if you can turn the
transmission output shaft.

Look with a flashlight around the base of the slave cylinder,
and see if you can see the pin moving forward when you press the clutch.

Maybe the clutch hydraulic system needs more bleeding?

I hope you didn't already install the tunnel cover!
