    Randy, I really like the longer braided clutch line 949 racing sells. It eliminates the hardline pigtail and makes a future slave replacement a breeze.

    FWIW, I replace the clutch master once for every two slaves. Probably not necessary, but I have a heavy clutch and it's relatively inexpensive to replace. I bought it at a parts-chain so I can take advantage of the warranty.

    Had to open the sucker up and see if its wet on the backside. But these parts are already 17 years old, might as well save myself the hassle of doing it again later.

    Master cylinder takes all of 15 mins

    What I'm wondering is, how did you get it rolling from a stop, just jam it into first? haha
    I would probably start pushing then jump in and hope it slides into first. Once you're in gear it shouldn't be too bad as long as you don't have to stop.

    Got the new parts yet?

    Just happened to me this week! Damn annoying job, clutch fluid everywhere, a huge mess.

    Have a look at what my slave cylinder looked like when I removed the boot:
