I replaced the old style slave in my '90 with the new style. I didn't have any clearance problems. Infact there may be more room as the bleeder screw doesn't point sideways into the trans. tunnel!

The inlet port on the slave is in slightly different positions on the old and new style slaves. I opted to get the same year hose as the slave. I didn't try using the old hose with the new slave so I don't know if it will fit.

New style slave on top, old stlyle on bottom:

Ohh, braided steel :cool:


I also replaced the clutch master cylinder. I figured that both the master and slave cylinders were the same age. If one failed, the other may not be far behind.

Good luch with your project!
