Not going in gear
The s2k was fine when I've been driving it before but not, the clutch feels weird, engagement is near bottom of pedal ( a lot of useless travel in pedal) also, it seems really hard to out in reverse, first is stiff sometimes , also when I pump it a few times it will go in ,
Buy when I'm on the move, it's alot better?
Also the clutch fluid looked well dark, im guessing it'll be good to change that
What could it be?
Slave cyclinder?

First port of call would be to put new fluid in, simple job to bleed the clutch yourself, there are a few good how to threads on here.
I've heard if your clutch is on its way out it will bite high, not low like you have described.
Get under the dash and feel around the clutch pedal salve cylinder to see if it is leaking, should be Immediately obvious if it is.
Most problems can be worked out by a pragmatic process of elimination and is a great way to learn more about the car.. Good luck.

Yep. Mine went like this. It suddenly got worse one day, and became pretty much undriveable. I barely made it home; every time I stopped it would take me a minute or two to manage to get it into first again - people behind me were not amused. I'd managed to get it to Honda that lunchtime who told me it needed a new clutch, which would be £1000 please.
£10 worth of brake fluid and the help of a friend who was brave enough to crawl under the car (I'm not), and now it's perfectly okay.

My master seals are a bit dodgy and slowly leaked fluid... after a while it wouldn't engage the clutch and would be almost at the end, to the point you wondered if the small pedal movement was even disengaging the engine from the gearbox.
Topped with fluid and sorted!

This thread has a few instructions https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/924...-fluid-change/ - apparently you can gravity bleed by undoing the nipple on the slave (you might want some tubing attached)
To bleed the fluid properly you do need to get under the car, that's where the bleed nipple is.
I did mine the other day, used a turkey baster to suck out most of the old fluid then filled up with ATE superblue fluid, very easy to tell when the new fluid is through.
Also used some silicone pipe which is used for fuel supply in RC petrol cars, perfectly flexible to be used on both the clutch bleed nipple and the brake nipples.
There's a great how to on here if you have a search.
