Originally it was coming from the inner bell housing seal where the slave cylinder is. The shop I took it to was supposed to fix it. When I got the car back, I looked underneath and saw a buildup of transmission fluid. I told them about it and brought it back. They claimed they didn’t see any transmission fluid. Which i still found when I got the car back. Looks like I’m going to have to do it myself. To get to the slave cylinder if you can help remind me the steps and torque requirements.

Hi,

To access the slave cylinder, you will need to remove the transmission. If you look below, I attached the directions you need.

The first pics (the majority of pics) are the directions specific to the removal and replacement of the transmission.

The last eight pictures are the directions for the removal and replacement of the slave cylinder itself.

Let me know if this is what you needed or if you have other questions.

Take care,

joe
