Lube slave spline

[jamesn]

I know that the Ranger slave cylinders are something short of a dream come true, so I'm not surprised that mine is being a pain in the ...
I suspect that the slave release is not moving smoothly on the spline shaft. I've read that this is not uncommon. Before I start removing drive shaft, transmission etc., has anyone found a way to lubricate the spline without pulling the transmission.
I'm considering going thru the transmission rubber side access cover to get at the slave cylinder, cut a hole in the slave cylinder rubber boot and spray some lube through the hole.
Any thoughts?
Jim

If its not releasing all the way then it means theres air in the system.
