Default Clutch Slipping after MC Replacement

So I just had my master and slave replaced, and about 3 days afterwards I noticed my clutch slipping at 5-6k under hard accel.

Any connection with the replacements or just bad timing?

You don't have enough freeplay on the clutch rod.

Loosen the 12mm locknut on the clutch rod (under dash) and turn the clutch rod counter-clockwise until you get some freeplay /clearance back into the setup. The clutch rod is engaging the mc piston and putting pressure on the clutch and it won't hold under vtec and high rpms.

Your the man J, turned it back just a bit and its all good.

Now is there any reason my keyfob wouldn't work after having had those repairs done at a local shop?

Thanks again!!!

check under the dash again for a disconnect connector for the key fob not working. they would have gotten under there to disconnect the master cylinder from the firewall and may have disconnected some stuff to get to the hardware. I'm not sure which connector it would be exactly, but if somethings not connected, you should see it.

Very nice. Check the clearance again later down the road and make sure it doesn't close up again.

Not sure about the key fob, maybe the battery in the fob is dead coincidentally ?. Does your second key fob work ?. The keyless entry module is under-dash but the repair shop wouldn't have any reason to mess with it.
