Transmission part assembly

This is a 6-speed O1E transmission from a 2000 Audi s4 its slightly bigger from the O1A transmission that was in the car from the start but will fit none the less. I will be covering the assembly of parts into the bell housing of the O1E transmission as seen above.
This is the clutch slave cylinder, brand new OEM unit for the old transmission(O1A) it connects to the master cylinder through a hose. The master cylinder in attached to the pedal assembly and when he press the clutch pedal it creates pressure in the master cylinder through hydraulic fluid and transfers it to the slave cylinder.
The slave cylinder from a different angle.(side)
These are the parts I will be putting onto the transmission, from left to right it is as follows:
Throwout bearing, bolt, fork insert, fork pin, and the transmission fork.
First push the plastic insert into the whole with a swivel in it.
 Second put the fork over the transmission Spline, making sure the female end of the Fork fits onto the slave cylinder. Like a hat :D. The plastic insert should fit in a divet on the fork.
Third  hold it in place and put the fork pin over it and bolt it in.
This is the tool required for this bolt its a Torx socket # 45, i just hand torqued it because the schematics didn't say anything about it needing a torque spec.
Like so!
Then you put on the throwout bearing, this is what slams against the pressure plate to make the clutch plate transfer momentum through torque in the transmission and then it gets to the wheels. It has to plastic ridges that will make it snap into place, be careful they are plastic, however they are hard, they can break.
 last I installed the hose that connects the slave cylinder to the master cylinder, and that is it.
