Perhaps that true problem was the master?
Second, you don't want to press the pedal with the slave not in the socket or it may pump the slave piston right out of the body. Hopefully that did not happen during the first install. No, the shaft should not be loose...
Now, what I would do is remove the slave and inspect it for possible damage. Then reinstall it with the bleeder nut loose so that you do not have exert 'a lot' of pressure. Once the slave is back in then get a pressure bleeder and bleed the clutch system. There most likely is air in the system and until it is out the system will not work.
Good luck -

I was trying to drop the engine to replace my clutch. Needless to say it did not go well due to lack of height and five trips to Sears to get more tools. I was borrowing a friends garage, and he needed it, so we ran out of time and I had to put the car back together. The car started fine and I went to put it into reverse, that's when I noticed I had no clutch pressure.
I guess I did pump the piston out of the body as it is flopping around in the rubber boot.
I have the Motive pressure bleeder and will follow your instructions. Thank you.
