Default Slave Cylinder

Ok guys how difficult is it to replace a slave cylinder to upgrade to a new one? Does anyone have a website where I can get instructions. THanks for your help.

simple, pull the tranny

-Drain tranny fluid.
-Unbolt, driveshaft from rear.
-Support tranny with jacks, or tranny stand and remove tranny mount.
-Unplug wiring harness and hydraulic clutch line.
-Remove shifter.
-Unbolt tranny from bell housing.
-You'll have to wiggle the tranny back so that the input shaft slides out.
-Once the input shaft is clear of the pressure plate fingers you can lower it down and now have access to the slave cylinder.

That's all there is to it. Good luck.

Mike
