Hmmm, how does the AP2 clutch delay valve figure into things?

I don't remember it being related to anything. I removed it and threw it away. I also can't remember any issues putting the slave back on.

As xviper says "make sure all other contingencies are covered: good clutch disc and PP and flywheel, clutch fluid good and bled. If not, you can serious do harm to your car," but it is possible to adjust your clutch engagement point by adjusting the master cylinder: https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/295...9#entry5653429

this was the problem. just fixed it and it works awesome now
Check that the pushrod on the MASTER cylinder has no pressure on it when the pedal is at rest. If there is any push on the piston in the master the piston moves to cover the small hole back to the reservoir. This makes is impossible to push the piston back into the slave without cracking the bleed nipple. It can also cause the clutch to start slipping when the fluid heats up, expands and cannot find its way back into the fluid reservoir.
I see this on race cars when people adjust all the free play out of the pushrods on their master cylinders. When the calipers heat up the fluid, the brakes jam on and they expand the fluid more. One customer was complaining that his car was down on power after the first lap, and it was running really hot. He would actually boil the radiator fighting the poor engine against the jammed brakes.

Interesting. I didn't realize a mis-adjusted clutch could prevent the slave from going back in. I did know about the possible wear/slipping though. You should always have some free play at the top of the pedal travel.
