About 6 months ago, I blew up the transmission and rear diff. It’s been a long process, but I finally got a new trans and diff and replaced everything in my garage over the past few months. While I was in there, I also replaced a bunch of maintenance items, including the clutch and a torque tube rebuild.
I went for the maiden voyage yesterday and barely made it out of the driveway. As soon as I pushed the clutch in, I heard a pop, and then I had no clutch.I found the issue, but I’m not really sure how to fix it. It looks like the clutch line “quick connect” failed. I can’t tell if the internals are destroyed or if there’s a way to repair it.
If it is destroyed, it looks like I may have to remove the whole rear of the car again since I think that connection is built into the slave cylinder.
Has anybody dealt with this before? Is there a repair option, or am I pulling the rear back apart?

If it pushes back in go for it and if you have to ever have to tear it apart deal with it then if it wont release next tiome. Just cut it next time if it doesn't release. Don't over think this if it connects.
I got it back together. I had to let the pressure off with the speed bleeder and then it worked. Im about to put everything back together and hope it holds this time.
Slave Cylinder Quick Connect Damaged??
