New Clutch Kit Installed - Still Mushy = Help

I just bought an '85 RX-7 GS, but it needed a clutch. I bought a Beck/Arnley clutchkit, and paid to have it installed. After I picked the car up, the clutch is like mush. I can push it to the floor with a finger. It goes into gear fine, but it has a terrible feel, and I am worried that the clutch may not have been put in correctly?

More likely, could it be that it was installed correctly, but that it needs hydraulic repairs? I am concerned because this car is now my daily driver, and I need it to run right, and I want to make sure that the clutch is operating as it should be, especially after I have spent all of this money to get it to work right.

Advice? Ideas?

Please help.

check and make sure the spring is attached to the pedal then check the slave cylinder then the master. Mine was the slave but mine would just stick at the floor then you had to float shift.
