Default Clutch pedal goes straight to floor

I was on my way home from the gym and I am coasting in my car in neutral going about 4 mph. I push in the clutch pedal and I hear a pop and my clutch goes straight to the floor and stays there. I lifted the clutch pedal up with my toe and push it down again. There was no resistance, the pedal went straight to the floor again. When my clutch is resting on the floor it is impossible to put the car into gear because the pedal is not engaging anything. I checked the fluid levels and it was completely full. I have had my master and slave cylinder replaced a month ago by the Honda dealer in Tampa.

Any I ideas what is wrong with my baby?

My guess is that your throwout bearing fell apart. On the S2K the T/O bearing "pulls" the clutch open. You should start by removing the slave cylinder and see if your clutch fork is engaging.

Happened to me on the back straight of TWS some years ago... the Honda dealership had failed to tighten the bolts holding the slave cylinder and it just dropped off and was swinging from the hydraulic line.

You have to know whatever this is it is a result of the work just done.

The dealership replaced the slave cylinder for free because some of the seals exploded. So they say.

Easy way to check if its your slave is unbolt and press the clutch. You would also see your clutch for, but not sure if you can see the T/O Bearing.
