Well, the reason for replacing the clutch slave was just a horrible hemorrhaging from the seam between the slave and the tranny bell housing. No problems at all with operation.
So, pulled the Squash into the garage and put the front up on ramps
Here is the slave on the passenger side of the tranny. You can see I think where it has been oozing down the side of the tranny. {oil under there too from oil filter housing gasket}
I'm not sure if this is advised, but first I clamped off the line from the brake reservoir.
Next is where I messed up a little bit. I removed both of the 13mm bolts holding the slave to the tranny.
**Notice gasket in between slave and tranny**
What I should have first done is loosen the 12mm fitting to the fitting on top of the slave. Doh! I was still able to get it loose, but it simply would have been better to break that fitting loose while still secured to tranny. Lesson learned.
Here are old and new slave cylinders, along with gasket. There is a rubber seal/bladder in the front of the slave, and the old one looked horrible compared to the new one.
