Default Tick speed bleeder install

Has anyone been able to install the speed bleeder without dropping the trans. I was under there today and the only thing I can think of is to modify a socket to fit but even then it seems like it would be a long shot... thanks in advance

I think your going to have a pretty difficult time with that. It may even be impossible to do. Dropping the trans actually isn't that big of a deal. You can probably get away with just sliding it back on the main shaft a little to get to the slave (leave the bell housing on).

Nothing is impossible.. Just cut a huge hole in the trans tunnel for easy access!

I tried and ended up having to cut a hole in the floor board just to get the OEM bleeder back in.

Just wondering, but are you installing a new clutch or something? Why are you concerned with installing the speed bleeder if you don't have the trans out anyways? If you don't have any issues with your clutch now, then i suggest waiting till it's new clutch time and then install the speed bleeder because the trans has to be out or at least slid back enough to install it.
