Hello Everyone,
I am new to the forum - thanks for having me.
About a month ago I loaned a friend some money and he paid a backyard mechanic to change his clutch and slave cylinder. The truck is now leaking hydraulic fluid and I think it is leaking at the slave cylinder connection and the backyard mechanic is not willing to help. The connection is the type with the metal clip (please see attached photo). My question: Is there supposed to be an 'o' ring at the connection? The attached photo shows an 'o'-ring of some sort, but there was no 'o'-ring when we pulled the line.
And one more question on a slightly different topic. Being that we removed the shifter and cover, is it acceptable to add the trans fluid into the shifter opening as opposed to the fill port on the side of the trans?
Thanks Very Much,
Russell
