Ok lets start from begining! When clutch went out did you have any pressure in pedal or was pedal hard to push? NOW..do you have any pressure? you see here's 2 things that are common. Either a plate turned wrong way and clutch not bled properly!

Its difficult to bleed you make have to get a 1 way valve to bleed (If there is no pressure in pedal) Trust me it took a long time for me to bleed

It could be. Best way to know is bleed it or get a 1 man bleeder set contains a 1 way valve for $6 it works wonders loosen bleeder valve and stick it on bleeder. Press pedal a few times and it will bleed air. If it does not work then you know its the master cylinder

Now I know its not your clutch when you said its like a feather when pedal pressed. Your issue is bleeding. Trust me I have went through your same issue with a 1999 dodge dakota. They are hard to bleed. Like I said make sure your master cylinder is not bypassing and slave cylinders not leaking. You should be ok with bleeding.
