Question Clutch replaced but soft pedal

Hey I helped my buddy replace his clutch today in his 95 Runner. We got it all done and I think it feels fine but he is sure it is not as good as it could be. I tried to bleed out the cylinder but no air came out. Is it in his head or is there maybe an adjustment I could help him with to get more pedal. The clutch we installed in it is a Center Force one and we had the flywheel turned if that helps. Thanks guys, Blue

Which cylinder did you try and bleed? Master or slave? Did you bleed it like you would do the brakes, by pumping it up 10 or so times and then holding it?
I had a similar problem when I replaced my clutch and It ended up being air in the line down at the slave cylinder. Hope that helps.

***I bled the clutch master cylinder being we did a clutch job.***

***I had him pump it about four times and then checked it. We never took the lines off nor lost fluid so I assumed it was ok***

I had a similar problem when I replaced my clutch and It ended up being air in the line down at the slave cylinder. Hope that helps.
***I will do it like you said here and see what happens. Thanks***
