Unhappy Clutch problems

Alright, So about three months ago my clutch went out so I took it to a shop to see what was wrong. They told me all i needed to replace was my master cylinder, slave cylinder, as well as my clutch pedal assembly. I paid the mechanic and everything has been working great, until today. I was driving to school and as i went to shift into 2nd gear I felt all the normal resistance in my clutch pedal go away and the pedal just staying on the flood. I pulled off and called a toe truck to get toed home, I can still start the car just not put it into gear. The pedal springs back up if i give a little lift with my foot, unlike the first time where it was just limp. I was just wondering if it is the clutch itself or will i have to get the new cylinders as well. I called mazda when it happened the first time and my extended warrenty had expired about three weeks prior to my clutch going out. Anyone have any idea on what needs to get fixed?

Thanks

Hmm sadly, that all depends on who you took it to, also if the mechanic replaced those parts with oem parts. if not do your studying, SEARCH, get under there, find out, and fix it yourself. or if your not mechanically inclined and you got money to blow, take it to mazda. lol

I got under the car a few hours ago and found the actual problem. The clutch fluid line is cut open so i looked up a pretty good guide on here and replaced the line as well as bleeding them as well. Running perfectly again.
Thanks
