Plan on pulling the transmission out to put a heli coil in the bell  
housing. The original bolts for the slave cylinder are 3/8 x 24 . Be  
careful of the length of the bolts if you are to long they will hit  
the flywheel.

The reason you may have to remove the transmission is that there is  
not enough space between the bellhousing and the body panels and  
inner frame rail.
