What an ordeal to fix the master and slave cylinders! Slave cylinder had the finer threads so had to get another one. Master had the longer studs so great advice there Banzai!- easy enough to use the old ones but not sure I would have caught it without the tip.
That top nut on the master is a royal PITA. I'm not a small individual so twisting my arm up there to get at that was not easy.

BUT- got it all hooked up- bled the line and tested it out. Shifts great- engages predictably and had a nice little drive Sunday reeking of sweat, grime and accomplishment!

 

Experience is the best teacher, glad I could help. Less time under the dash cussing, leaves more time on the road smiling!
