So im putting in my 408 today along with a new monster stage 3. I have a new slave cylinder but no remote speed bleeder. Can i swap slaves without it? Or should i put the motor in and drive the car to a friends house who has a lift and do the swap in a week or so?

I would do it the first time. If you need one I can get you one out today. Hate to see ya do the labor twice man

You can bleed just fine without without the speed/remote bleeder. It's a convenience thing. No way I would pull the trans just to put in a speed bleeder.

The speed bleeder makes it so much easier... One man job and no more crawling under the car to bleed...

I am not a huge fan of speed bleeders. They are a good idea but it is very easy for air to become trapped in them. You can bleed the system properly with the stock bleeder.

could one of you experts please explain the process in swapping these out... i have no idea what i'm getting myself into!

I honestly wouldn't bother with it. You can get a good proper bleed with the stock bleeder. We remove them from every car we work on here at the shop because they cause far more problems then they are worth. I have never ran one on any of my cars and I have been building and racing manual transmission cars since I was 16. I launch my car at 6000+rpm and I have zero clutch release issues.

All you do is take out the stock bleeder, then slide the bushing that comes with the speed bleeder on the threads and tighten it up. Takes about 2 minutes tops if the tranny is out...
