Master and slave cylinder was a closed system and Napa said not to bleed. Pedal is stiff and feels like it is going to break something if pressed too far.

Good morning,

What happened to the old master and slave?

The issue may not be the slave or master, it may be the clutch itself. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what happens.

Good evening,

Yes, if you get aggressive, it will break something.

What concerns me is the clutch itself. You could have a bad pressure plate or the possibility the disc is in backwards.

You will need to remove the transmission and inspect it again.

We have a YouTube video on front wheel drive clutch replacements.
