Welcome to this place first of all. Second where is it breaking? sounds odd to me. Post some pics of it that way we can put our eyes on it. Sounds like the seating surface is not like it should be.

I went through a few from the parts houses, they're actually a 1/2 ton slave (at least mine were).I got one made by Luk,it's larger in diameter and seems to take less effort to depress the pedal plus it's got a bleeder screw made into it.
