Help!
So over night my clutch break point moved. It used to be very high with a lot of resistance but now it's very low with little resistance. She doesn't drive funny in any kind of way. But some times getting her in reverse or 1st or 2nd can take a little bit of effort. But there's no slippage or grinding. Any ideas? Fluids all look normal...
Assuming your fluid is clean (clear) and the level is correct in the clutch reservoir.
Back in the day, I noticed my clutch was similarly finicky, so I employed the trifecta and it made everything perfect:
1 of 3: Grind the nipple: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/s2000-un...-pedal-370792/
2 of 3: Bleed the clutch slave: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/s2000-br...method-993927/
3 of 3 (unrelated bonus): Shifter regrease: https://www.s2ki.com/2010/03/11/diy-regrease-shifter/

I have owned & driven many manual transmission cars and when I've felt a significant change in the clutch feel it usually means that either the master or slave cylinder is starting to fail. One quick check on the S would be to look under the dash against the left side. You should see the clutch master cylinder shaft. Is there any fluid leaking from around the shaft? When the O-rings start to wear out, fluid will seep through reducing the pressure. You may not notice the amount of fluid loss until the O-rings fail completely.
