    More problems

    Installed the engine and trans connected yesterday. I reused the slave cylinder since it was working good condition. My buddy made the mistake of pushing the clutch pedal while it was out, so the piston is pushed out. I pushed the piston back in and it stayed. Installed it with nipple facing down. Went to check the pedal, I get no movement at all. I mean it will not budge. So I guess the slave is no good?

    Also the installing the trans back to driveshaft is PITA. The three bolts and self locking nuts are so hard. I have everything lined up? Just want to know how yall installed the tranny back in. DId you spin the Drive shaft to get to each bolt?

    Usually if the pedal gets pushed the slave is done for. I'd replace it.

    Yes, slide the driveshaft close to the tranny and spin as you tighten. It helps to have a friend take the e brake on and off to make things easy.
