You could always just adjust the pedal and see if that helps

After bleeding i did adjust the pedal with no luck.
I did a search on the clutch MC and i guess AP1 alot of people had issues with it failing. My car has 65k on it and is 8 years old and i plan on tracking it so i'm just gonna replace the slave and clucth MC and install a braided clutch line. If that dont work then ill replace the clutch. If that dont work ill replace the tranny gears =0(

The GM stuff i got came from GM white bottle green cap ???

Have someone press the clutch. Check underneath how long the rod throw.
Then, watch the rod if creeping or staying.

To be honest, my clutch master is Toyota (from pickup truck) and my slave is Honda accord and it works.
My throw is not even long and I don't have problem.

By the way, I am only using the regular DOT 3 fluid. Nothing special.

my s2k was like that too.... at high rpm it would go in or hard to go in. idk about u, but it only happened in my 5th gear. i found out that it was my sychro out. it would be hard to put in and later on when i was racing a EVO, it wouldnt go into gear anymore. actually it would go in gear if i held it in! but idk if that might of helped or not.

How do you push the slave by hand to bleed?

The slave is not too critical bleeding compare to the master cylinder.

I've been changing slaves for many years and I never bench the bleeding.
If you are not to sure, out from the box, fill the slave with fluid so you don't need to work hard. Install the slave (slowly) and connect the hose....start bleeding.

You have more control using your foot than using your hand to bleed.
Do you have one of those one man bleeder unit?

well i didnt install a new slave yet. I would have filled it if so. I though maybe there was some different way to bleed that i was not aware of.

Think im just gonna remove the tranny and order a new clutch this one is old anyway. I found a exedy oem clutch and F1 light weight steel flywheel for 480 on ebay lol may order that seeing im staying NA

Jason, think twice buying after market. If you are staying NA, there is nothing wrong using Honda (IMO). Honda is known for durability. Majority of the time, hi-performance clutch is very hard....but just my opinion.
