Question on Clutch Master and Slave Cylinder Replacement

Replaced master and slave separately. On one occasion, after bleeding and letting it sit with pedal pressed all night, I could get it in gear but clutch engagement was still very low. The next morning I was back to not being able to get it in gear at all. Mechanic said the arm coming out of the transmission shouldn't move at all by hand and he's able to pull it out by hand a little after the pedal is depressed. Is this normal? Pedal feel seems ok. Slave plunger is moving probably 1.5" or more but no clutch release to allow gear change.

That is likely due to the slave not fully engaging the lever. There is likely air trapped inthe system.
