Default Clutch petal sticking at the bottom

Car has 56k miles on it. ACT PP on oem disk. Comptech SC. Clutch fluid has never been changed.

Just recently, my clutch petal seems to 'stick' all the way at the bottom of the movement range. Its well beyond the engagement point, so it doesnt really affect driving... just feels weird.

Anyone else have this problem? Ya think a clutch fluid flush will fix her right up?

Flushing the fluid would be a good 1st step.

It's not staying on the floor by itself right? Only feels like it's caught on something when all the way down and you go to let it up?

If so, you have to grease the 2 tips of the clutch fork where they contact the bearing, and the ball end of the slave where it contacts the fork.

Guaranteed

Yes clutch fluid change is a VERY good idea on the s2k. every 10k in my book.

that would be my step 2

It's hard to tell reading just a description, and not actually pushing the clutch in on your car.

At first read it seemed like the slave popped of the fork

no its not staying at the bottom, it still springs up, but with less pressure than normal. after about an inch of travel, it feels normal.

any tips on how to grease the fork tips without having to separate the block from the bell housing? just wondering if its possible to peel back the fork boot and shoot some grease in there

Remove the slave cylinder (don't disconnect the line) and the release fork boot from the transmission housing, then pull the release fork from the release bearing. Honda say's to use Super High Temp Urea grease (Honda part# 08789-9002). There is a service news with an illustration floating around somewhere. Good Luck.

The fork cannot be totally removed, but it can be pulled partially out.

It's a little difficult seeing the tips of the fork, but it can be done. 15 minute job.
