[DML] Re: Slave Cylinder-What's the best way to tackle this?

["Matt Spittle" <supermatty@xxxxxxx>]

If you can get underneath, and get your arm up to the clutch fork, 
you can feel your way up to the slave cylinder.  (Go-Go Gadget-
Arm!)  There are 2 bolts on either side of the 'wings' on it.  These 
hold it to the engine.  If you can manage to get these out, then you 
can remove the metal clutch line from the top of the transmission 
(near where the plastic/braided line attaches).  That's all it 
takes.  
If you can't manage to get your arm up there, sorry to say, but the 
next easiest ways (that I know of) are to either drop the 
transmission, or pull the intake manifold.

the life of me figure out how to get to it.  After putting the car 
on stands and crawling around for 30 minutes underneath it I 
realized that I could not access it like the shop manual seems to 
indicate.  From above I can put my hand on the rubber boot but can't 
seem to see a thing since it's down there a bit.  So I'm once again 
turning to the experts here in the group for some much needed advice-
just how do you get to this darn thing?  My old one is definitely 
leaking fluid as the boot is wet as well as fluid having dripped 
onto the transmission.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!
