ooh wait now that were talking about pistons..

I removed my engine and tranny and my freind pushed in the clutch and i think the piston came out of the slave clutch cylnder. what should i do about that?

damn freinds sitting in there making vrroooooomm noises and turning the wheel and pushing the pedals and stuff.
