to make a long story short, i've developed some sort of leak which has caused me to lose pressure in the clutch pedal (pedal moves freely) I'm completely lost on places to check where the leak may have developed or is this going to be way more extensive...like pulling the trans?
thanks in advance.

Aaron,
Like I asked you before...did you Master Cylnder go dry during the swap? If so that is likely your source. Otherwise, if the pedal is a bit soft, it does go away as the clutch breaks in. If it is going to the floor without any resistance and your brakes are spongy you may need to bench bleed or pressure bleed the MC

Evan, The clutch didn't seem to get any better (no change) after bleeding it. I will have to ask Brad if the Master Cylinder went dry. The brakes aren't soft at all. The strangest thing happend today I put the car into reverse and the reverse lights were on whihc is good, but when I released the clutch the car didn't move at all, I tried it again then it just grinded  .

maybe the TOB was installed incorrectly. I've had this done more than a few times....fluid dumps and clutch goes soft...

My TOB just went out and your symptoms appeared. It's leaking brake fluid all over my driveway. Looks like a new clutch and TOB are on their way.

try bleeding the clutch with the car running, it runs with more pressure. I bled mine while it was off and it felt a little soft. then i tried it while running and it works fine now.
