With an external slave, you dig out the seal kit you were smart enough to carry with you or get to the nearest Napa, Pep Boys, etc. and you fix the sumb!tch, fill it and bleed it and get on your merry phuking way.

With an internal...pull out your AAA card and wait a few hours for the truck and then sit on the bench seat next to the tow truck driver and listen to his view of the world while he spits chew juice out the window (when his aim's good), and then figure out how to get your beast home so you can: 1) pull the motor and trans out, or 2) pull your interior and trans out...and then redo the little basturd all over again.

Sh!t WILL fail on these basturds (notwithstanding Hal and his Cobra from another planet)...the issue is how easy it will be to fix and get back on the road.
