Drove it home for the first time, and parked it in my own garage!
Just curious, did you remove the intake manifold when you did it or just climb over everything? I'm about to do mine - well I keep putting it off - so I'm curious if you were able to do it without major disassembly.Quote:

I found that it was very easy to remove/replace the slave cylinder after removing the engine and transmission from the car. :lol:Quote:

Congrats Stephen! How does it drive?Quote:

Didn't remove a thing - not the intake, hoses, or even the engine cover. The most difficult part was getting the pin out of the slave, but I came up with a trick for manoeuvring/forcing that. I have posted a list of our (successful) steps on pages 2 and 3 of the Replacing clutch slave thread - hope it helps as, ignoring the full day we spent on the job, those were ultimately all it took to get the job done! Now that I've done it I would definitely not put it off if I needed to do it again some day.Quote:

She ran an absolute treat with only three issues:
1. Little to no vacuum to the booster (made for very tough 45 minute drives!)
2. Third gear crunches/grinds into place - all other gears are perfectly fine (ultimately skipped third in favour of continuing the drives ;))
3. Passenger door lock solenoid does not activate in sequence with the driver's lock anymore
