I hope so too Phil, however, I'm fitting an LUK slave to the ZT at the end of the month.

A customer of mine asked about clutch fitting about a month back, he had a Borg and Beck two part with a Tazu slave.

I spun the bearing up, and it was bone dry of grease

Needless to say I point blank declined the job, and told him to send the slave back to his supplier for a refund.

I fear my clutch may need doing again in the next year or so, as I think I have a Tazu slave with a dry release bearing - I have release bearing noise after 8,000 miles. The dilemma is whether to go for another Tazu (with grease in the bearing) or go back to a plastic slave (I might be tempted by an original AP/Delphi item - these seemed to have worked well for the few members on here who have fitted them, and apparently the release bearing is well greased on these items)

Pete, you and me both. I think we should start a new club...the change your slave once a year club.

Brian, bearing in mind what Phil-t4 has said about the new Tazu batch being fine, which slave would you go for, Tazu or the one you suggested?

Did it have the flexible plastic pipes as pictured?

That definitely looks like the original if it is
