[Supras] HELP!

[khalida1 at aol.com]

Just to be precise, the bell housing is more than two bolts to remove, the bell housing, or clutch housing *covers* are two bolts each.  Here is the link from the TSRM, its step 15-2

Thanks for the help. That's what I thought happened - but I got at least 100 depressions before it fell off. At this point I've put it all back together and paid close attention to see that pushrod was aligned to the indent. I never thought to see if I could remove the bell housing - if it's only 2 bolts then it's a no brainer. Thanks again - I'll let you know.

Jeff,
     I think you're ok.  I think I ran into the same problem.  I replaced my slave cylinder, bled it and then I tried to drive the car only to find a pool of clutch fluid under the car and it came from the bell housing (through the cover).  What actually happened was the slave cylinder has a push rod, which has to fit into a groove in the clutch fork, and in my case it came off the fork and I basically pushed the slave cylinder piston out of it's cylinder, which let the brake fluid out.  Here is my advice for you to make sure things go back properly:
 
1- Reassemble the slave cylinder back.  I just pushed the piston back into the slave cylinder and pushed the rubber boot back onto the cylinder.  (use the old slave cylinder for reference if you have to).
 
2- Remove the bell housing cover that is next to the slave cylinder (two bolts).
 
3- Start installing the slave cylinder (2 bolts onto the bell housing).  Now you can easily see whether the slave cylinder's push rod is going into the correct place or not (again, it goes into a groove in the clutch fork). 
 
2- After making sure the slave cylinder is in correctly, tighten it down.
 
3- Now, bleed the air out of the fluid.
 
4- Check that the clutch operation is normal and no leaks.  If there is a leak, at least now you can see where it's coming from by looking through the bell housing.
 
If my guess is correct, you should be ok and can reinstall the bell housing cover to finish off the job.
 
good luck,
/Khalid, 90T
