Have 1991 Explorer with M5R1 transmission. Put in new clutch, throwout bearing, master cylinder and slave cylinder. And had transmission rebuilt. After installing everything and bleeding the clutch, drove it from field I worked on it to my house about 6 miles away. Worked fine except I woke up to discover that the line was leaking at the slave cylinder line junction. Resevior was empty. Didn't think the problem was the line but bit the bullet and put in new $60 line. Problem is that I can't get the line to clip in the replacement slave cylinder. It has a clip instead of teeth like found in the original. It clipped pretty easily when out of the transmission, but now the transmission is installed I can't get line to catch. Does anyone know what direction the clip should be facing? The only thing I can think of is that the clip prongs are pushing on the transmission casing preventing them from seating properly. Anyone use this replacement slave cylinder with clip instead of teeth and have any ideas of what the problem could be please let me know. Many thanks. Brian
