Problem! Need help please :) (Slave cylinder) CAR: C5 Z06 (2002)
Okay long story short, removed LS6 from the top.
Left the bellhousing/ clutch on the block and pulled out.
Torque tube was still installed and supported.
Accidently pressed the clutch pedal to the ground while clutch /flywheel /bellhousing wasn't connected.
Did my work and reinstalled motor/ bellhousing into car and onto torque tube.. Didn't think to check the slave cylinder or anything.
After install was complete clutch pedal doesn't build pressure and I see clutch fluid leaking from the bell housing..
What's my course of action ?
New slave?
Remove trans/tube and bleed it first?

You hyper extended the slave. pull trans and install new one. Not a good option trying/hoping you can get it back together without leaking. Seriously doubt it would work. Not worth the trouble, install a new one so you dont have to worry or fuss. Bleed clutch. Done.
