can't find the bleeder please help

I can't find the damn bleeder for the slave. I have read that if you reach up directly from the line going into the trans it supposed to be right there but I didn't find it like that. I've been trying everything and I still haven't got anywhere. Can someone please help?

it's right above where the line goes in. It's extremely hard to get to. I used a 1/4 ratchet with a deep 7/16 socket to get to mine. I think the best way would be to drill a hole on the inside of the car on the trans tunnel. I've seen this suggested before, you may try a search to find out info on that. I found that removing the drivers side o2 sensor helped to give me a little more space to work under there.

I can get my hand past the unused tab that sticks up there I've been trying to feel and look but I can't see it or feel it. How close to the top of the trans is it?

Its probably about halfway in between the line and the top of the trans. I feel your pain. It took me a while to find it too. I was convinced it wasn't there. Just be sure you use a ratchet that locks the socket onto it, so it doesn't fall into the bell housing. I couldn't really get my hand in there either, just had to figure out how to stick the ratchet up there just right to get it on the bleeder. It was a ROYAL pain. Stupid design, it's almost impossible to get to. I really think next time I'm going to pull my carpet back, and drill a hole in the floor pan to get to it.

Yeah I was about convinced it wasn't there myself. I guess I'll keep trying, its just frustrating. I've been working on this thing all day and haven't got anywhere with it. Thanks for your help man.

Well I still haven't found it.

have you looked for any articles on cutting a hole in the floor pan? you could always do that and then reattatch the piece you cut out with screws when you are done. Sort of like making a removable panel. I'll look to see if I can find any articles on it.
