How do you "blow" a pressure plate?

If you lost fluid, it went somewhere. Probably out the slave, but inspect for other leaks.

You have to pull the transmission since the slave is internally mounted. Plan a lot of time.

It's not necessary (and rather expensive) to replace the line. Only do so if it is damaged or leaking.

It's only available from the dealer and comes with a master cylinder attached.
