Thanks Stevo. Actually, that is what I had done - not planning on having to replace the slave. However, I eventually noticed that it was leaking brake fluid and upon investiation found the diaphram to be bad. So, I had to replace the slave and tomorrow I will have fun trying to bleed it - I think I will start with the connecting line to the RF brake caliper and have my wife assist with the pedal pushing - she'll love it.
Anyway, what I did wrong was hanging the slave up out of the way on the driver side. Then, once I had the tranny bolted back up in, I couldn't get the slave and the plubing twisted around to route it back up over the bellhousing. I ended up removing the slave then undoing the metal line where it bolts together. With the pieces seprated I placed them in their approximate location and bolted it all back together. It wasn't all that bad once I figured out how it was supposed to go. That's what you get for tearing it all aprat and then not putting it back together until several months later. Oh well.
