Trouble is the Ford shop manual says to remove the transmission to check the clutch slave cylinder.

I don't see any access cover that would work for the task in the illustrations and haven't spent enough time under the '12 to know if there's one there or not. I also don't see one in photographs of the MT-82 like these:

If there is one it's going to be on the engine side and the clutch disc is going block the view of the TO/slave.

As you can see I wasn't asking for anything to be taken apart, major work done, anything of the sort. Just simple inspections that were recommended to me by TWO different Ford Engineers on the Boss program...
Who pays when it comes up 'no problem found'? Is the dealer being cheap, probably. It does amount to a diff fluid change as far the dealer is concerned.
