Is the lever hard or does it not feel like it's engaging?

If the ball behind the little hat thing that supports the pressure plate is misplaced, things don't work. If you squeeze the lever while everything is out, you get no lever movement (I've done this one). Crack the bleeder down by the shifter and see if your lever moves.

Also, the pressure plate only works when aligned properly.

+1 on what Dave said.
