Take off the oil filter and you get a clear crack at it.
get some rags and crack the line off the Hard line at the firewall.(explain later).
undo the 2 12mm bolts..You may note that there is a Tab-like thing,looks like a chunk of black hash with an eyelet..haha.. on the bolt(capacitor for oil sender) make sure it goes back on.
now,you got the slave off,take the flex line off the slave and put the flex line on the new one.
Take the slave and line and attach it to the transmission(don't forget the HASH!) and hook up to the hydraulic system.Put a rag at the slave bleeder and open it.
let the slave drip,then close.
now pump pump pump<hold pedal down..crack bleeder..SPRITZ!!!..close bleeder.repeat.
NOW If you do not get a good pedal feel,put a piece of hose on the bleeder,crack the bleeder open as someone steps on the clutch.When the fluid stops,put your finger over the hose.close bleeder.repeat until pedal feels ok.
I use clear hose as you can see bubbles exit the system.
when there is no bubbles and you get a good stiff clutch pedal feel,you are done.
make sure that you always have brake fluid(yes,the clutch takes brake fluid.DOT3) in the master or else you have to start all over again.

Hash is an oily resiny substance that you smoke to get a feeling of euphoria..
OH,Sorry,wrong thing.
Usually there is a little black condenser thing that attaches to one of the slave bolts.
Really IF your Oil Pressure gauge is working Ok,then I wouldn't bother looking around for it.It may just be grounded at a different point.
If the clutch feels ok after you bled the living snot out of it,it should be alright.
I encountered a nice feeling pedal,and went down the road and Boom,right to the floor,only once..I had air trapped in the hydraulics.
That is why I stress,Bleed the living **** out of it!

Thanks n Lol on the hash smiley didn't take in u meant that Lol. Still waiting on the lines for the omp and oil injectors. Any day now I'll start working on my passenger side leaks. But I can't seem to find the right crush washers for that thick line on the driver side above the oil pan. Can I use any crush washer just as long as it fits or is it too specific for 13bs?
