Slave Cylinder

How is the external slave cylinder held in place on 1983 Ranger with 5 speed and a 2.3 liter 4 cylinder.it goes into a cut out on the bell housing. but I havent been able to identify the clip or cover that holds it in place. if someone has the part number i would really help in my search.

That's a good question... I think I read that there's a special tool to get in there and free it but maybe there's a way around it. Hopefully someone chimes in who has done it. I know when I took the 2.3Li & 5 speed out of my '90, I got around it by disconnecting everything and bringing the cylinder and reservoir out still attached to the trans. Didn't have to cut anything. Never did disconnect it...

The 83 didn't use the internal slave cylinder it used an external. I was trying to find the clip that holds it to the bell housing. Thanks fr the reply anyway.
