If its a pull type and you say its working backwards, Is the release bearing engaged .Have you fitted a new clutch.

You have one of a few possible problems:

1. You have the slave installed incorrectly. There is a dimple on the fork that the slave piston seats in. If you don't have it in that dimple, it will pop out when pressure is applied to the clutch line.

2. You don't have the throw-out bearing locked into the wedge collar.

3. You don't have the wedge collar locked into the pressure plate.

If you have #3, you have to drop the tranny to fix it. You can check the position of the wedge collar by looking through the bottom inspection plate. First thing to verify is that it's pushed into the pressure plate.
