hello everyone i am new to this thread so bare with me. i have a problem with my s2000 ap1 yr 2000. I just changed the clutch and throw out bearing. the problem i am having is the slave cylinder pops out the clutch fork at high rpm and only when i push the car. the car drives fine without pushing it. The clutch feels a little too soft when without bleeding. HELP PLEASE !!!!

Did you replace the slave or master?

i changed the slave

Happened to me when I changed the slave... I was pumping the new dot 3 when the slave popped out of the clutch fork hard. I just had to make sure the salve was correctly lined up with the clutch fork.

How are you dealing with putting the slave back in the clutch fork? Is it popping out when your driving around town? What do you do when it pops out? Pull over and fix on the spot?

well it only happens when i punch it and open the vtec. The clutch pedal gets soft than the pedal when i try to shift the pedal will go down and will not come back up , knowing the slave cyclinder has popped out. It has happened twice only when i punch it and it fixable on the spot.

the pedal gets really soft when i punch it and than the slave cyclnder will pop it

Your foot is on the clutch when youre at full thorttle? I hope not! It sounds like it gets loose after you crack vtec? Did you use honda Dot3 or another brand? is the slave OEM?

I was cheap when I changed my civics slave and i used the cheapest slave and cheapest dot 3 I could find. That car drives like shit. I learned my lesson and bought all OEM with my S. It feels great and I don't have any loose pedal problems like I do in my civic.

Could it be temperatures? are you driving on cold or hot days?

when i punch it am i feel the pedal sink down and the pedal doesnt jump back up it takes a while to come back up. I changed my slave cycliner OEM. and the same problem

the pedal feels soft when i crack vtec. and i gets back hard when i drive normal

You sound like you know what your doing with repairs, but did you check you CMC reservoir? Maybe you dont have enough fluid and when you crack Vtec the CMC doesnt have a good feed of DOT 3? Like the car pulls back hard and the fluid moves back with it?

I would rebleed the clutch with a vacuum pump.
