FL Need help installing slave cylinder...

Any tips on installing the slave cylinder? The clutch fork is forward and I can't get it to budge and mount the new slave. Any help is appreciated! Thanks

Compare it to the one you took off, is it the same? It should be very easy to get it to fit.

push in the rod on the slave cylinder, mount the cylinder, and guide the rod into the fork when its time.

Just in case as mentioned above..........................turbo and non turbo slave cylinders are different. So it you tried to put one on the wrong type engine, it could result in you not being able to install it. Different lengths.

I had the same thing happen to me. They sent me a non-turbo slave instead of the turbo. I was dying to drive the car and didnt want to wait to exchange it... so i grinded down the back end of the plunger till everything lined up. Just another option, it worked for me and the car shifts normally. I've heard of other people doing this before also.
