clutch problems

On my way home i stopped to get some food, i came out started my car noticed that it was kinda hard to put in gear, it finally went in gear and the clutch pedal went right to the floor and didnt spring back. as if there was no pressure, i checked the master to see where the fluid lvl was at, it was a bit low, the odd thing is that this is a new clutch installed like 3 or so months ago ... i think it might be the clutch line but i dont know for sure. any ideas? the car is a 93 JDM FD.

The pedal didn't spring back but is the clutch engaged? FD is a pull-type clutch. Did you re-use or replace the collar thingy that connects to the clutch "fingers"? It is suppose to be replaced when doing your clutch.

The clutch fork may have "pulled away" from the clutch. Or it can be a leak in the clutch cylinder or lines like you mentioned.

when the car was in gear the clutch pedal was out but when i put it neutral it was at the floor, all new components were use except the flywheel, i think it gotta be a line somewhere

Either the clutch slave has failed or needs bleeding, other problems could be the rod that goes from the slave to the fork has fallen out of the carrier.

I'd check the clutch hydraulics to start
