hello i have just fitted a second hand gearbox to my vauxhall astra 2006 1.4 sxi
and installed a new clutch while i was at it. i fitted an LUK clutch and
slave cylinder. the car now takes up to 10 seconds after releasing the
clutch to start moving and the same after changing gear. the clutch
pedal will also get very stiff and not work at all. i have bled the
system using a pressure bleeder but still no change. only thing i can
think of is I have misaligned the clutch trying to get the gearbox back
in. any help would be greatly appreciated.

This car not sold to the US where most of us are but some basics on this:
Used is used and at your own risk for fit and quality but at least be the correct one. Kinda sounds like clutch parts aren't right? Hard to push pedal? That's noticeable over long time you don't with a worn out clutch so parts could be wrong - are you sure all were exactly right?
Hard to say now but if the fingers that release the clutch are at such an angle pedal would be hard and might not push well if totally wrong along with a host of possible reasons. Right parts known is the first question........
