The release arm simply flops back and forth when the slave cylinder is =
removed. When I say the slave moves in and out, I just mean it =
travels without a problem not that it returns on its own. It does =
return a little but not fully. I assume the pedal spring causes the =
hydraulics to suck the piston in a little.=20
Thanks all, I guess I have a big project ahead and I should examine =
the transmission while I have it out. =20
