Tried bleeding lines but huge puddle started forming from the transmission housingis the slave cylinder inside there?.... Oh its a 92 f-150 straight 6

 

Yep

 

Ctap okay what's the line of attack on this issue

 

Any special tools needed or can I get to it with a basic tool set

 

Tranny has to come out.

 

Is that a very long process I haven't done this before and just when its my weekend I come down with a stupid cold

 

the hardest part will be lining up the transmission back up. changing the slave is easy. the new style slave has a quick disconnect for the clutch fluid line. ive heard they are faulty but mine has been fine since I put it in. when I did mine I replaced everything flywheel, pressure plate, clutch plate, throw out bearing, just so I didn't have to go in there again.

 

easy way to line up a trans, get 2 bolts about 3" long same thread as the factory bolts, cut the heads off, then thread them into the engine on each side of the block, just thread them in do not put them in tight, then line the trans up get them on the bolts, now you have a 3" run to slip the trans forward nice and strait, might take a few trys to get it on if your main shaft splines are not lined up with the clutch, just make sure the trans is in gear and you can turn it a little from the output shaft.

 

This is exactly what I did and mated everything up in one shot. I rented a tranny jack to help. But once you get it mated up, add 2 other bolts pull out the guide bolts and go to town.

 

Does the shifter lever need to come off and if so where is the locking pin located
