Yup, I'd say the clutch fork got bent somehow. Try bleeding the clutch line to be sure...actually, double check the hard sections of the line and make sure it didn't get kinked somewhere?

Then bleed it. crack open bleeder as someone is slowly pushing down on the clutch pedal, then close it before they hit the floor. Keep the cap off the reservoir, and topped all the way up if you can (the best thing to do is have one of those upside down, auto-fill bottles so it stays full as you keep bleeding).

Positive the clutch didn't get damaged as you re-installed the tranny? smashed input shaft into one of the fingers or something?
