I am in big trouble I have bought an older zx3 love the car love the motor little stuff is killing me!!. THe housing where my bleeder valve threads into is stripped. Do I have to take off the transmission?

yup. since you know its stripped im assuming its leaking brake fluid. drop the trans and put in a new slave. might as well get a clutch kit and do that when your in there.

If you replace the slave cylinder, that will replace the bleeder valve. Of course, that means a new clutch since you might as well replace it if you separate the transmission and the engine.

Without your first post this one makes no sense, FYI.


No.
Never ever use any type of thread sealant on a bleeder valve.

You might be able to 'fix' the bleeder for the clutch by using an oversized one --> http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/d...1_-1&keyword=brake+bleeder&pt=N0264&ppt=C0066

Because I said it in his other post too.
