so i replaced my clutch, pressureplate, throughout bearing, and the rubber line, bled the system, but still have problems shifting. talked to my mechanic and he said to replace the slave and so i'm replacing both, the slave and the master. now in order for me to replace the slave do i have to take the tranny off, or will i be able to replace it without taking it off. if i can replace it myself without taking the tranny off, i would be able to avoid having it towed. any help would be great-thanx

Try adjusting the clutch pedal's push-rod. so it will be a longer throw.

Slave bolts to top of tranny, no need to remove tranny.

Instead of replacement, I reccomend re-building.
Takes less than an hour, and it's cheaper.

You can get the slave out from under the hood. 2 12mm bolts. Make sure to break the hydraulic line loose first, then take the slave off.

Slave is easy to remove, but a mite tedious to replace, what with catching the dimple on the operating lever. But it can be done with a little patience. Before replacing, "bench bleed" it so it's chock full o' fluid. Poorly bled clutch hydraulics are a constant problem. There are several threads here on using a 'power bleeder' and even instructions on building a cheapo ghetto version. Once the master, slave and flexi-hose are replaced any remaining problems are probably caused by air in the system. Try everything you can to bleed properly BEFORE you start messing with the adjustment, which is probably OK and you may just screw it up.

A week or two? Rockauto.com is fast (3 days) and cheap.

Might be a good idea to get a "speedbleeder", which is a bleed tit with a builtin check valve. Sometimes you can get them at the autostore, but sometimes you gotta order on the internet. Makes single-handed bleeding easier.
