i have a 89 prelude that i recently had a new performance clutch put in. it seemed hard to put it in gear almost like the clutch wouldn't engage. now it wont engage at all and the pedal is all the way to the fire wall. can i adjust the pedal at all to fix this or do i have to get the guys that did it back out here?

If someone else did the job, you should get back to them to have it checked/rectified.

If your system is hydraulic, it is possible the master or slave cylinder is leaking esulting in loss of pressure hence the low pedal pressure. Check the fluids level in master cylinder reservoir.

If it is cable driven the pedal height can be adjusted.
