Default B20 swapped civic

Hey guys new to this forum and forums in general so if I posted in the wrong area please let me know. But anyways I’m here today because I’m having issues with a b20 swapped 2000 hatch I picked up as a winter beater. I drove it all winter and it drove alright for what it is. Recently I thought I had lost the clutch. I would clutch in, in gear and the car would move before I even began to lift my foot off the clutch. I replaced the clutch because I thought it was a pressure plate issue from talking to the techs around my shop and since it had a “stage 3” clutch in it from the last guy I assumed that it was a junk eBay clutch and that the pressure plate indeed failed. So I replaced it with an oem exedy clutch and this is where things got wierd. The kit I had ordered didn’t have the correct throw out bearing. The one in the car had a spring attached to the back with a little slot for it, new one did not. The tob was fine so I decided to run it. When I threw everything back together it did the same thing except now my clutch catches almost instantly and the clutch sticks. I tried to bleed it and adjusted the stuff down by the pedals. Still bo luck. I had noticed that when the clutch pedal is released that the slave doesn’t go all the way down to its original position so I wanna replaced the slave. And once again things get weird again. I cannot find this style slave anywhere. It has a bolt that runs through it and it is adjustable from the looks of it. Will post picture. Does anyone know what kind of set up I have in the machine? I’m lost any help would be much appreciated thanks guys.

Simple.. you have a hydro to cable conversion.. Have someone push in your clutch and you watch to see if the bolt on the backside is hitting into the tranny case preventing it to come up fully to disengage the clutch.. You could also turn the bolt around so the head is on the backside for better clearance. Looks like you have a 92/93 cable tranny.
You probably bought a clutch kit for a hydro tranny when you needed a cable tranny clutch kit. that's why the TOB was different. I think the 90-91 cable clutch use a smaller spline shaft and the 92 up have the larger shaft. The 92+ clutch disc would work from the hydro kit but not the TOB.
Use the adjuster on the slave to make its rod longer to push up on the arm more to get full disengagement. Simple fix.
