If your write clearly we could understand you easier and be more help. I have the opposite problem to this. My car wont let me put it in gear. Thought it was slave, got a new slave and bled the system. Same problem. Ordered new master so see if that fixes mine. Sorry about thread jacking.
no that shouldnt happen. undo everything.
undo the hub nut.
undo the two 17mm bolts that secure the strut to the hub, and also the brake pipe clip that holds the pipe to the strut. and pull the hub away from the wheel arch.
then remove the whole shaft assembly.
this is only when the shaft can be pulled apart from the outer cv.
put your hand in the cv joint through the cv boot/gaiter and manouver the knuckle with your fingers, so that the splines face directly up towards the opening in the cv boot. then slide the shaft in to the knuckle through the cv boot. it may take a few goes but you'll know when its sat in there as when you turn the shaft, the cv joint will turn with it.

the 10mm bolts are all in but the driveshaft is in my hand well its on the kitchen table. How do the 10mm bolts hold the shaft to the gearbox?? Is it not just a guard??

there should not be that much free play in the pedal adjust it using the nut and rod under the pedal until there is none see if it works then add a small amount of play its best to try this first before you start ripping out driveshafts and gearboxes etc
i would of thought that even if a driveshaft is not in properly you would still feel the car want to move as its 4 wheel drive i might be wrong though

if that shaft is anyway detached from the cv joint at either end then the car will go nowhere when in gear with foot off clutch, 4wd or not.
the clutch pedal height will have nothing to do with the car actually going into gear but no drive.
sounds as though you have a dodgy driveshaft to me or something has not been fitted or located properly.
once you have drive, THEN you may have a prob with clutch disengagement if you have 2'' of play in your pedal, thats if it will let you select gear at all.

If it's not goin in gear, and u can see when you press the clutch that the fork IS being pushed back and forth with the slave cylinder, then the problem is not in the master/slave cylinder.. it will be clutch/gearbox problem.
If the fork is not moving back & forth i.e. slave cylinder shaft is not holding pressure, then you're on the right track
It could be the fork has gone. My fork looked to be moving fine, but it had broken through at the pivot point. Does it go in gear ok with the engine off or carefully using no clutch? (mine did)
