[DeTomaso] Wrong Slave? Re: Clutch woes in Asa's garage

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Oh you guys are driving me to drink!

I have looked through all the literature the club store carries... and I 
should know..... I've got it all. 
I can -not- for the life of me, find an exploded diagram of the clutch 
slave cylinder, or the master for that matter.  I have no reference 
here.  Does the stock slave come with an internal spring?  Does it come 
with an internal snap ring?  Photos here would be soooo helpful.

Doesn't anyone have a slave cylinder not installed on their car they 
could disassemble and take photos of?  Consider it therapy to a man 
going insane.  Please.
