Car is fixed!

With Keith Cox's help (actually, Keith did the remove/replace, but either one of us could have) we got the clutch slave cylinder replaced rather quickly. God bless the Mazda engineers who put the slave cylinder right at the front of the transaxle! So easy to get to, and a piece of cake to replace. My car is on the road again! Hooray! (And I didn't have to pay to have it towed or repaired!)
