Default Clutch slave cylinder....again
OK folks,

Not to beat a dead horse, but I could not find an answer in other threads to this. I have a SPF, 900 series with a 460 SVO and a 5 speed Tremec TKO or TR-3550-2. (A bit confused with the transmission tag and what the Tremic web site says).

The clutch slave cylinder appears to be a Nissan (Datsun) or Toyota attached to the bell housing. And it leaks pretty badly. Even after replacement. If looking down the length of the cylinder, the threaded rod (plunger) is not straight, but exits the housing at an angle. My mechanic has thought of elongating the mounting holes to move the slave in a direction to line everything up best as possible. Has anyone tried this, or has anyone built a bracket to locate the slave to resolve this problem.

Is this just a engine, bell housing and transmission combination problem?
