If its a y8 its vtec. A six puck on that motor would be the worst decision ever.

did you bleed it yet? tranny fluid has nothing to do with where the pedal grabs. it needs hydro fluid, bleed it and get the air out the lines.

If the clutch is hard to push in and catches at the floor, that sounds like a brand new stage 2+ racing clutch, not a worn one.

If it were in fact worn, it wouldnt catch until the clutch was completely all the way up, and it would be floppy and soft like a sponge.

If the clutch catches that low, as long as its not making any grinding noises (which would be a problem) then you are fine, its just how your clutch catches. Did you recently install an aftermarket one?
