    I just finished my swap n when I went to bleed my clutch n my slave went out. Got a new one n the same thing happened. After the third one went out I pulled the Trans out to make sure the fork was moving properly n the clutch disk wasn't backwards n everything was fine. I don't know what is wrong any one have any suggestions?

          Do you have the TOB in the fork the correct way? the fork shouldn't have much play

            What do you mean 'slave went out'? Did the push rod come out of the cylinder? Did the seal blow out?

            Do you have the right slave cylinder?

            Also, i belive the word you cant think of is 'and'.

              The seal blew out.  And I  did double check  to make sure  I have the right  one.

                      Try a different brand. I've heard non-oem slaves are hit or miss

                          TOB is on correctly. Not sure what else to do so I ges  I'll just put it back together n try an oem  slave.
