Clutch pedal slams to the floor when pressing it...

Just put in a new IMS, Flywheel, Clutch, Slave Cylinder, in my car. When we finally started it (it is still on the lift), I wanted to make sure it shifted gears properly, so I pressed in the clutch pedal and it slammed to the floor and stay there. I turned off the motor and reached down and pulled the pedal back up. I had bleed the clutch slave before reinstalling everything. But the slave did not pop and spill fluid everywhere so I guess I did not toast the new one....

Also when we first started the car, one of the rear wheels would spin slowly. We could put a hand on it and it would stop, but the other would spin. But by pressing on both sides we could make both wheels stop spinning. Is this normal when the pedal goes to the floor and there is no pressure on the clutch.

So....do I need to rebleed the system? What is the procedure when the clutch pedal drops to the floor like that AND did I maybe toast my new slave cylinder?

Thanks in advance!
