Default 97 Accord won't go in gear Manual transmission

I have a 97 Accord stick shift 5 spead I just changed my axle yesterday & touched nothing else. I drove it for about 20 miles and this morning for about 3 miles then when I tried to drive it again early today and it was very hard to go into gears and the shift peddle goes almost all the way down. How can I fix this prob and what is the prob thanks. Also I had my clutch changed about 1 month ago

check your clutch master cylinder level. common they go bad. look inside your car up above the pedals, check for fluid leakage. if you cant spot any external leaks try bleeding it.
