someone please help-slave clyinder issue
I have been having nothing but problems with my 93 since i got it and now i have yet another problem. I just replaced my 5th gear syncro, throw out bearing, pilot bearing, and clutch fork. After about 3 weeks of down time i got it all together and realized my slave clyinder had developed a leak. I bought the rebuild kit and my buddy helped me do it. After installing it, i was bleeding the clutch and all of a sudden the slave popped and the rod/piston/rubber boot shot into the housing getting all the fluid on my 5k mile old act clutch 
. I re-assembeled it and tried again and the same thing happened. Anybody have any idea as to why it would do this? I really need help. thanks in advance.

Your are doing either or both of the two errors:
(1) the throw out bearing is not engaged to the clutch thus it is moving too far back.
(2) When you insert the slave, you do not have the rod end actually engaged into the hole on the end of the clutch fork. This can be verified thru the same opening used to engaged the "TO" bearing to the clutch.
Come on people, this is not rocket science!

Considering you said it got fluid on your clutch, I'm assuming you're doing this with the slave not bolted to the transmission or the tranny is not in the car. You need to have the slave on the tranny with everything together to bleed it.
It's *good* that the rod on the slave shoots out - that's by design. Hydraulic pressure builds up behind it to push the clutch fork - a LOT of pressure, actually.
Wait until you have everything back together to bleed it.

It exactly like he said....one or the other ( maybe both )

Take the side and bottom inspection ports off and see what the hell is going on in there. I'd say you never ingaged the wedge wire or it's broke.
