Hi all

After replacing the slave cylinder too many times, I discovered that a
little modification with a grinder when you have the tranny out will save
countless hours when it comes to removing it again.  A little clearance to
get to the bolt from the bottom with a 1/4 drive, swivel 13mm and a long
extension will do the trick.

On Syncros, clearance ground on the the top of the vac servo bracket comes
in handy when changing the starter.  A notch on the top allows the starter
to come out without removing the servo.  I have found no strength problems
when done carefully.  The same socket (13mm with an integral swivel and an
extension is now a permanent tool in my box)
