slave cylinder

I have a 1998 f150 standard trans. Had the slave cylinder changed with all the corresponting parts. Cost $600, Now 3
months later it's leaking again. Mechanic said fords are now for
this, but i'm not buying that. Any idea's on what might be
happening. Thanks John

Hi John and welcome

Did you use a genuine Ford slave cylinder? The newest ones seem to be a lot better than what they had a few years ago. We dont see nearly as many leaks as we used to. I cant actually remember the last time I replaced the slave cylinder in a newer truck.
You may have just got a bad one. Hopefully it still has warranty on it.
