Default Clutch disengages while accelerating

I posted problems I was currently having with my car when I first bought it here: (Below)
https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/113...#entry23751680

However I am not sure if the problem I have currently is a cause from something In my previous post.

While leaving my street I live on today I did a small pull to 7k rpm in 2nd gear, It felt as if my clutch disengaged and the car revved to the redline and nose dived a little as if it wanted to stop then the clutch engaged again after letting off the gas, then I switched into 3rd gear and continued to drive as if nothing happened.

The event happened really quickly for a split 2-3 seconds, Thereafter the car drove as if nothing ever happened.
This same even has happened twice before, exact same scenario while merging on the free way a couple times with me revving it in the higher rpms.

I spoke to my mechanic who replaced the clutch kit & he told me its the master cylinder for the clutch? He doesn't know too much about these cars as its the first s2000 he worked on, So I figure to ask here for second advice.

Thanks.

Sounds like it is slipping.

Over adjustment of the master push rod can cause this, be sure you have free play that you can feel with one finger.

Does the problem surface on every WOT pull to redline?

Most of the time, yes. Between 6-7k.
