I have replaced 3 Wilwood external slaves on my BDR, in 5,000 miles.
The new C6 Z06s are frying the clutch fluid right away, depending how agressive a driver you are. I was sucking fluid out of the Master cylinder with a turkey baster in mine every two weeks and replacing it with fresh fluid for the first year or so. I still do it once a quarter or so. If not the fuild turns black and the clutch pedal ends up sticking to the floor. That's the one big problem with a HTOB, the heat from the clutch is transfered directly to the fluid.
