Subject:      Re: clutch cylinder - help

The rubber boot on my slave cylinder popped about a month ago, shooting hydraulic fluid everywhere, and locking me out of gear. Also, the plastic bearing shot down the pinion shaft, which required removal of the transmission for reattachment. All this just because of a blown slave cylinder.
