I'm just double checking, PO gave me a slave cylinder, but it looks like it's missing the o ring and pin for hydraulic line.

Looks like I'll have to buy another? What's the best brand for slave cylinders?

 

"Best" slave cylinder is one with a line and master attached, pre-built pre-filled pre-bled. A fraction of the time to install, and NO PITA bleeding. Esp. if your current master is as old as the current slave, it's probably not too far behind wrt. point of failure.

 

I'm troubleshooting my clutch right now, gotta pump it to put into gear.

If bleeding doesnt help, replacing the the slave, master cylinder is next, pretty cheap parts, but which brand is the best?

 

Recently I switched slave cylinders on a '95; after much gnashing of teeth & lost brake fluid I bled it by cycling the clutch arm by hand thru it's free travel. Air worked up the line & out the master cyl. Very easy. O-ring stayed on the line so I reused it. It's likely a standard item you could get from a real auto parts or equipment dealer. Same for roll pin, or reuse the old one.


New cyl was chineese aluminum from rockauto.com; hafta see how it holds up. Original cracked & leaked. Thinking the internal parts were better than the replacement I saved it for possible repair parts.
