trans removal 5ktq

[Nate Stuart]

Don't bother, the several clutch slaves I've gotten to have all been buggers
to get out even with the tranny out. Just undo the hydraulic fitting between
the flex hose and the hard line on the firewall. It's quicker, and bleeding
the clutch is a cinch as long as you have some sort of pressure (not
vacuum!) bleeder. If I remember correctly the Bently called for the downpipe
to come out too. I was able to do it with it still in there (it was a pain
though).

Good luck!
