Default Just got the Remote Bleeder, can I just slide the trans back?

I just got my remote bleeder and want to install it while installing the new master as well (wish I woulda done this with the textralia a few months ago grrrr). Will I be able to slide the trans back enough to do this, or should I plan on dropping the trans again?

How have you guys all done it if you werent doing a clutch with it?

Thanks.

Youll have to drop it in order to get the original bleeder screw out of the bellhousing and to get the new remote screw in.

Damn! Well, thanks for the heads up. I am big on knowing what I am in for before the battle.

I was able to install a remote bleeder without dropping the tranny. I just slide it back to get a hand in there to work. I don't even think the input shaft came all the way out. I mean it's a PITA job either way, but a lot better if you don't have to drop the tranny.

It must be a major PITA to do it without pulling the tranny, I would just pull the tranny and replace the slave while i was at it anyway since its all unbolted.

Well I replaced the Slave when I put in the Textralia, and didnt think much about the master and all at the time..big mistake. If after all of this my clutch still engages low and wont disengage at high RPMs I'll throw in the towel. Thanks for the replies guys.
