I have a '94 Sport 4x4 with manual trans. I am attempting to bleed the slave cylinder and have gotten a BUNCH of helpful advice from this forum. I decided to attempt to use my Mighty-Vac (as described here ==> Bleeding the slave cylinder in 3~5 minutes) and acquired a couple different sizes of clear plastic tubing that would fit over the bleeder nipple. I crawled under the Sport to fit the tubing to the bleeder nipple and as I was attempting to force the plastic tubing over the nipple (I live in the Colorado Rockies at ~9,000' elevation and it is COLD in the garage) the bleeder nipple moved. I stopped working the tubing and used my fingers to move the nipple approximately 1/2" back-and-forth (front of vehicle to rear of vehicle direction).
This may be nothing, but I wanted to be sure before proceeding that this is "normal"?
So my question is this: should there be 1/2" movement (play) in the clutch slave cylinder bleeder nipple?
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.
As an aside, if this is NOT "normal" I am assuming I need to drop the tranny and install a new clutch slave cylinder?
Thanks again
