Help!!!
check these things:
First - can you shift into gear with the engine off?
If yes, good. If no, that's a different problem.
Most likely issues:
Still has air in the system - The Aisin transmission in the V6 can be really stubborn to bleed. Try gravity bleeding overnight (leave bleeder cracked open with reservoir full) or get a vacuum bleeder. Sometimes takes a whole pint of fluid to get all the air out.
Master cylinder is bad - These often fail around the same time as the slave. Check inside the cabin at the clutch pedal for any fluid leaking at the boot. If the master's going bad, it might feel OK on the pedal but won't build enough pressure.
Wrong slave or bad install - Make sure the slave clicked into place properly (Aisin models should click when seated right). Also double-check you got the right part - some aftermarket ones don't have the right throw distance.
Clutch fork popped off - When doing the slave, the fork can pop off the pivot ball. This would stop the clutch from disengaging even with good hydraulics.
Try re-bleeding first - pump the pedal slow 3-4 times, hold it down, crack the bleeder, close it, let pedal up. Repeat this like 15 times. If that doesn't work, probably need to check the master cylinder.
