Got a new clutch slave cylinder ready for installation. Just need to figure out how to drain the remanding fluid that is in the master slave cylinder. My clutch pedal is hitting the floor already so the only answer I see here is to install my new clutch slave cylinder and put it to work. Anyone on here have any advise on how to do so other then installing the new part?

fuck it and drain the whole system...
you brakes will thank you! crack open the pass rear cyl. and pump it a few times lowering the systems volume, starting over is always good... throw some rubber hose on a bleeder in a jar of brake fluid. not the bulk but a jar with 6 or 7 ounces and bleed each corner but be careful to not allow air into tge system or run dry. thats the way a single person does it.

^ he's talking about the clutch, not the brakes.

To op, just install the slave and bleed the system

Sorry for the late reply. I managed to get the gunk out of the lines by using a bikes brake line. The lines where filled with Auto Tranny fluid, took forever to get out.
