what exactly do you mean by the slave cylinder extension piece? i didn't need to buy any pigtails for mine because i had a complete m6 harness, but i think i remember seeing they could be found on ebay

The slave extension is an aluminum piece that goes between the slave and bell housing. Off the top of my head it's roughly 2 inches long. During my swap I had to order one from the stealer-ship. It was pricy but didn't have any choice as I needed to finish my build.

I take it you have tried to get the wiring pigtails from Gmpartsdirect.com with no luck? That is where I got mine back in 05.

I hear they are hard to come by but should be available somewhere.

while this is a ghetto way worst case is if you can find the thickness of this exstension piece you could just get tube spacer(s) the right size (or a whole pile of washers) and space out the slave. Would make it prone to road dirt somewhat but would work.

If you do find one down the line it is very easy to swap out

Good luck finding one, GM discontinued it. You can try searching on here, I know it's been discussed a few times on where to find replacements.
