Super stiff clutch

95 XLT 3.0 V6

I just got done putting in a new clutch and at 1st, the clutch was so soft and had no pressure behind it, so I bled master and slave cylinder, my clutch now works as it should, but it is so so stiff, enough to give my leg a workout after only 5 minutes of driving. It should not be like this.

I know what a new clutch feels like, I just did my brothers clutch in his ranger last week and his feels perfect.

What could be the issue?

Was it a stock for stock replacement? The only thing I can think of would be the quick disconnect between the slave and master stuck mostly closed. Causes a lot of pedal resistance since it needs to pass through a very small opening.

I would also check to make sure the master is mounted properly and not binding on anything
