After changing the brakes the first few times you press on the brake pedal it will go to the floor; that's because the calipers haven't been pushed back to position. Remember that you had to retract the calipers completely before you could put in the new brake pads. Sometimes it takes a few pumps before the calipers are back in position.
Make certain that the brake fluid is all the way up, then bleed the brakes again, and watch that fluid level. If it goes low for just one pedal push then you'll suck air again and you'll have to start over.
Just one bubble of air in the brakes will cause trouble.

Why wont your brakes work after bleeding?
If the brakes were working before bleeding and now are worse, then is possible all of the air is not out of the system. Check the wheel cylinders and master cylinder for leaks, and re check any parts just replaced. It is possible that the last repair done to the system caused the problem.

Will it go into gear when the engine is off and the vehicle isn't moving? If so, it could be a problem with the pilot bearing or possibly the clutch slave cylinder wasn't installed properly. Check it for air bubbles. you may need to bleed the hydraulic line to the slave cylinder.

I WILL PUT AN ALLEN SCREW IN THE HOLE AND PERHAPS USE A HOSE CLIP OVER THE SCREW AND AROUND THE PLASTIC BARREL OF THE CYLINDER.
