I agree about the clutch slave extension, worth every penny.
I bled my clutch slave cylinder on the side of the highway in less than 5
minutes, with my wife and others waiting.

It clutch slave extension was unavailable when I needed it (and for a few
other Toyota transmission transplants, so I make the clutch slave extension
myself. It's not that difficult IMHO, well OK it took me an hour to figure
out the curves and angles.
