Default T56 Slave question

let just say i waited to long to change my clutch and I think something happen to my slave. I heard a pop and the car was not running the same I look under the car and I looked where the clutch breather slot was and it was infested with fluid. I checked my resivoir and its still half full!? Does it ALL leak out or what when the slave gets "over extended"? Also Is the slave inside or outside the trans. on a T56? Anyone I got a slave from an '02?

The Slave is inside the tranny. I've had **** for luck when it comes to slave cylinders.

If the slave is leaking, you will eventually lose all the fluid and the clutch will lose all tension.

Just drop your tranny and put in a new slave and clutch. It is your slave thats causing all the problems, you need a newer one anyways.

The slave cylinder is housed in the bell housing, and is between the tranny and pressure plate. I don't know how you can "overextend" it, but I do know that leaking could be a sign of it heading South!!!

Get a slave cylinder from an 02 car when you replace the old one.
