Usually when you change the clutch master you change the clutch slave cylinder as well. The two work together and when 1 goes the other usually goes shortly after. Peel back the rubber boot on the clutch slave cylinder and if there's any evidence of brake fluid behind the boot then you'll need a slave cylinder too. Sometimes the clutch master/slave can be a bear to bleed. Did you bench bleed the master first before installing? Or when you bled it did you let it run dry on fluid while bleeding? If either happened your best bet is to pressure bleed it(most shops have a pressure bleeder). Or you can try cracking the bleeder screw and gravity bleed it. Crack the bleeder valve and let it dribble out for awhile,while making sure the master doesn't go dry, then have someone assist you with bleeding. Good luck and hope this helps.

time to have it towed to a professional mechanic.
It is a good idea to replace the slave cylinder on the transmission at the same time because they usually fail first.

Bleeding the clutch is never easy. You need someone to push the clutch pedal with their hand. Slowly pump it twice, have them hold it down while you quickly open and close the bleeder. Do this 10 to 15 times and make sure you never let the reservoir go dry. The clutch pedal needs about 1/8th inch of free play, feel it using your hand.
