The high stack height for the V1 dual mass stock clutch setup is the reason why the V1 slave is so short and also the reason why a different slave won't work.

if your slave was replaced when they did the clutch i would try to remove the stuck bleeder. you may be able to notch it with a dremel and use a screwdriver.

I do not believe the slave was replaced just by looking at the condition of the fluid. It's not black or anything, but doesn't look like it only has 2k miles on it. Also the race on the front of the slave is worn out...can I get that seperately? It doesn't look like there's much to the slave as long as it's not leaking is it good?

Definitely cheaper to extract the broken threads and add remote bleeder, but as much fun as this was I really don't want to tear the transmission out in another month.

Again I want to thank everyone for all of the advice. You guys are great the advice made pulling the transmission pretty painless (just time consuming)
