Default Clutch pedal stays on floor while shifting urgently. Help!

I have a 98 civic coupe racecar with a b18c. I bought most of the car this way. So when it comes to specifics on the clutch pedal, I'm not sure whats been installed in the bellhousing.

So when I'm sitting in it and working the clutch pedal, the clutch cams over fairly early in the pedal throw, than seems to travel easier and easier until the pedal hits the stop. So if I'm shifting fairly fast, sometimes the pedal will stick to the floor because there is no clutch spring pressure back on the pedal. This sucks, as in mid shift it will rev to the moon because my other foot is expecting that its in the next gear and I already have the throttle floored.

I've bled the clutch numerous times with zero results. I've also gone as far as installing a block between the floor and the clutch pedal so it wont travel as far, not a permanent solution in my book.

I plan on ordering a master/slave setup tomorrow but I'm confused as to what application to look up? Anyone ever deal with this? Seems like maybe I have a mis-matched bore to bore displacement causing the slave to maybe over travel?

So I ordered, 98 civic master and slave today, turns out that the slave is the same part for the B18c as the D16y but the master where different, so I thought I'd try the civic one first as I'm unsure as to fitment with the Integra version.

Anyone have 'any' imput?????
