[V8] Clutch pedal goes to the floor

[Ed Kellock]

I went through this years ago on my v8 5spd.  Replaced the slave and the
clutch worked okay for awhile, then had to replace the master.  I figured it
was the bleeding after slave replacement that made the difference, but
finally the master gave up too.

Isn't the slave actually on the outside top of the bell housing?  Should be
replaceable without removing the tranny. You sure it isn't the hose to the
slave leaking?

Found the source of the leak.
Slave cylinder leaking inside the bell housing. Oh boy.
