starting issues with lt1 after rear main seal replacement
So I replaced my rear main seal in my LT1 6 speed and when i go to start after i reassembled the starter would not crank and the clutch had no pressure. Then i thought that it might be clutch switch i pressed harder on the clutch and got the starter to crank but since i pressed harder on the cluctch i heard a snap and looked below and there was fluid all over the ground. But now since i got the car to run now the starter will not disengage. I was thinking maybe when i put the slave back on the bellhousing that i didnt line it up with the fork or maybe i put the flywheel on wrong and now the starter is hitting it. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

As for the slave cylinder I have done the same thing once. I got the slave rod on the side of the bellhousing and not the fork, Got in and gave her a good slam and pop, fluid running on the ground. Slave is junked. Recheck the wiring on the starter and make sure the soliniod wire is not up against a post on the starter.

now that you puked your slave you either buy a new one and "try" to bleed the system or just get a new sealed MC & slave.
the new slave will have a plastic strap on it. leave it on. 1st time you push the clutch in it will break and the plastic cup stays on slave piston
installing a new slave only and then bleeding with MC installed will be a PIA and likely you won't get all the air out without removing old MC and bench bleeding the whole system
rockauto.com will be cheapest. some auto part stores carry the mc/slave assembly
unless you FU the wires of starter on the swap just make sure your starter is set flush and bolts are tight. The FW only can go on one way
as noted by Caprice RMS rarely leak but if you confirmed yours did than replacing it was needed. if it did leak I assume it puked oil on clutch also so if it did, replace it.
if your clutch assembly is out of balance for some reason and you have vibrations that will also cause a good RMS to leak. Happened to a F-body guy I see at the track when he put a stock FW on a "internally" balanced motor. The vibration caused his brand new motor to leak from RMS. Replaced FW with neutral balanced one and RNS stopped leaking....and car stopped vibrating like a dog shiating razor blades

The only thing is that I'm in the middle of trying to sell it. Why is it hard to bleed just the slave by itself and read somewhere that you can't actually bleed this car.

DO NOT push clutch pedal in without slave being properly mounted or you will explode the slave again.
