Bleeding clutch slave cylinder--problems

I bled the clutch slave cylinder on my 89 Porsche Carrera. No (or very few) bubbles came out, but now I have a problem.

I can put the car in gear with the shift lever, but in any gear (not 1-5 or Reverse), I am able to actually turn the rear rotors by hand. The clutch doesn't seem to connect the transmission and motor anymore. What did I do wrong?

I'd be grateful for any anybody help on this.
Thank you.

I have the car on jack stands, and the wheels don't turn with the car in gear and motor running.

Did you look at both wheels? Differentials work in mysterious ways.

There are certain jobs like bleeding the clutch slave that you do and then have to completely relearn the next time you do it, except for people like John! I found the little slave clutch bleed tool that a Pelican developed to be quite handy!

It's all about the right tool for the job. Makes all the difference. I made my own for my G50 slave bleed job.

Yes. When I am under the car and turn one wheel, the other wheel turns in the same direction with the motor in gear
