i replaced the clutch, flywheel, pilot bearing, throw out bearing, slave cylinder, and the stupid clips that go on teh throwout bearing and the fork all at once, now listen i was driving the car everything was fine so i got on it a lil bit and then all of a sudden the throw out bearing made this high pitch squeling noise when i push the clutch in sometimes it would do it sometimes it wont, so then iam about a block away from home and all of a sudden the clutch pedal hits the floor i lost fluid pressure i guess, so i tow the car home, get under neath and start to bleed the slave cylinder all of a sudden the boot unseals i guess and fluid comes flowing out of it, should i just replace the slave cylinder? also i have a spec stg 2 plus clutch kit it came with a bigger t.o bearing except it rotated on the outside ring instead of the inside like the stocker one so i replaced the t.o bearing with the stock one is that ok. let me know guys id hate to pull the transmission and put it back in again.

You ruined your throw out bearing. The reason your slave took a dump is because it is trying to extend to far, it pushed the piston out of the bore. You will need to pull your transmission and install the correct throw out bearing.

i know for sure that fluid isnt supposed to come out of that boot unless you have a leaky slave cylinder, or do that over extension thingy.

Ok for one Spec clutches and many others come with their own T/O bearings for a reason. It is only compatible with those clutch kits. Also you can either buy a new slave cylinder or just rebuild it. Dont know how readily available slave cylinders are in the states but thats an easy fix. Yes pull the transmission make sure you didnt ruin your clutch first of all and then use the T/O bearing that came with the clutch kit. LOL
