For those who are reading this thread the reason the OP was nervous is because when struggling to slide the transmission in you can accidentally side load the slave cylinder from putting pressure on the trans input shaft. Thats exactly what just happened to me. See the tiny crack at the base of the slave flange. Everything had to come back out.

 

Oh, wow! What a bummer, Shifty. I'm going to assume that brake fluid was gushing out of that crack when you tired to bleed the clutch.

 

You would be 100% correct. My anger leaked more though, so much work.

 

I'm sorry this happened to you. The extra work sucks so much. Who has time to do a bunch of hard work twice ? Not to mention having to buy another slave cylinder .
