Anyone had to replace a slave cylinder? What is the level of difficulty? Anyone have one or recommend a source who may carry them?
Thanks

Assuming you mean the clutch slave cylinder
Not that bad -
bleed clutch system dry
remove hose from either end
remove circlip (snap ring)
should pull out - ha, may of corroded and "welded" itself to the housing, use WD40 etc - give it a good soaking for 24 hours or so if required gently warm
sources - not sure where you are, For Europe Walloth & Hesch Germany, Jaymic uk etc

Clutch slave cyl
I agree with the possible challenge you may face in removing the old slave cylinder, and the suggested removal technique. When reinstalling, I suggest applying a thin coat of anti-seize compound to the mounting hole in the bellhousing (after cleaning it out). This weill help if you have to work on it again some time.
My favorite vendor over the past 10+ years is Mesa Performance here in California. You can not beat them for knowlege, service and pricing. Call Jim or Spence. 1-800-221-MESA or go to the website at

Is it an original 4 speed slave cylinder, or did you do a 5 speed swap?
