What make of slave cylinder did you fit and how long has it lasted?
 

Interested to know what the best slave cylinder is. Just purchased a 75 with a failed slave cylinder. The clutch and slave was replaced last year!

There’s a couple of people on here that suggest LUK are the best, but I struggle to believe this when I’ve read about 100 cases of LUK slave cylinders prematurely failing over the last few years.

I was going to try a sellers oem-q slave, however it’s a secret as to who makes them. So won’t be buying that one.

Fitting technique makes a whole lot of difference, and yes I would advocate using either LUK or Delphi.

I would buy nothing described as OEM-Q either, a poor marketing ploy, designed to sell tat ;)

Brian :D

I had a luk one that lasted a whole 17 days before it gave up, it didnt leak, the two copper pipes were loose allowing air into the system.
I'm not sure on its replacement but I hope its a Rymec one, they give a 2 year warranty.

Genuine from where?

What was fitted after this failure, or did you get rid of the car?

Oh poo, sorry dyslexia beat me, it was not a slave that failed not a master, sorry just re-read the title. You asking if I got rid of the car sent me back to the title.

Am I right in thinking that the original fitment slave cylinders had semi flexible pipes. I wonder whether the insistence to change everything to metal is causing unnecessary strain on the joints when fitting to the gearbox? :shrug:

LUK master 13 months 3000 miles
LUK slave 21 months 6000 miles.

Fitted by a very well known and respected member (not the usual clutch specialist) who knows how to fit them now in Norfolk.

....and still going that is?

LUK master and slave. 6 years and 45K miles and still going! Now probably jinxed it 😟
