Clutch Release Fork?
 
Im putting m new slave cylinder in and removed the starter to check it out. It seems like its on backwards or something.. Insted of pushing down to release the clutch you push up (This is me with my hands doing it). Whats up with this?? What did I forget to do? Thanks

I just installed a ACT S/S and Extreme P/P with the stocker flywheel. What up with the way the clutch fork is? How would I go about now that it is a "pull" insted of "push".

The Fds have a pull type clutch!

I interpret your post as possibly asking how to release the clutch? If this is correct you need to pull the fork towards you, using your hand. There is an access panel located behind (towards the front of the car) the clutch slave. Use a flat head screwdriver to pry the retaining ring away from the throw-out.

If you are asking how to install the slave. It's a no brainer. Just remove the old, and put the new in. No tricks. Just a drop-in

The clutch fork works by being pushed in by the slave cylinder and it pivots in the center. The other end pulls on the clutch itself. (actually the throwout bearing, which goes into the clutch and attaches via a clip ring.

Mine is acting like a "Pull" type of clutch! Not push! My slave doent even come close to touching it but I can pull toward the read of the car and release it.. wtf!!!

There is a "copper" colored metal ring that inserts into the center hole that locks the throw-out bearing into the fingers of the pressure plate.

Nope, the throw-out bearing connects into one side of the ring and the other side of the ring sits into the pressure plate. DO NOT pry the ring out of the center of the pressure plate.
