Recently i had a new clutch put in my 1991 300zx tt. Everything was fine for a few months but now the pedal feels as if there is no fluid when i put it in gear. When it is in nutral it feels a little better but not perfect. I checked the clutch master cylinder and it is full. What else could the problem be?

Bleed the system. Bleed the slave cylinder on the transmission, and the upper bleed point on the passenger side fender.

Before starting the car is the pedal sunken to the floorboard or has little resistance?

could be the slave cylinder is on its way out. I would check that to make sure its not leaking. Have someone pump the clutch while you look under the car

+1

squishy squishy pumpy pumpy usually means air in there somewhere being compressed where you want fluid
