clutch slave line ruptured
2006 z06, clutch slave cylinder line ruptured today. GM dealer is telling me the transmission has to be removed to change the line. Anyone familiar with another way to change the line?

OK, here's the scoop....
(from having replaced my slave cylinder on 2 C6 Corvettes)
You have to get at the slave cylinder and the connecting line, which is
INSIDE the clutch housing. The connecting line is part of the slave cylinder assembly.
To do this you have to....
remove the exhaust pipes from the manifolds back
remove the tunnel cover plate
remove the rear suspension (entire rear assembly) including transaxle
remove the drive shaft
Now you can remove the clutch housing, and expose the clutch assembly,
flywheel and slave cylinder.
I believe the book time for all this for a re and re is about 10 hours.
Sorry.
(I've not heard of the slave line rupturing before, but I guess there's a first for everything)
