[urq] trans/clutch job (massive x-post)

[Justin]

I had one HELL of a time replacing my slave cylinder in my 4kq.  It was
frozen into the tranny housing, an I had to use a lead pipe and hammer to
pound it out from the other side. (with the engine removed..)  If your
swapping the whole tranny out, this may be the easiest way to go.
