So i just replaced my transmission and now I'm to the step of reinstalling the slave cylinder. However when i try to install it the rod on the slave is pushed all the way out and i can't seem to compress it no matter what i try. Does anybody have an idea on what i should do?

 

crack the bleeder and relieve the pressure?

 

i tried that and it still won't go in

 

Okay i solved it i ended up using a jack to press the rod in then there was a loud clunk and now the slave works perfect.
