Slave cylinder

[tamanaco]

the unit is a 1988 mazda L4 2.2 liter is the one that came on car #260, (advanced auto parts #0728342, this was the number on 9/18/2006, also, the 2.6 liter is a top bleeder version).
My slave failed because of overstroke, according to the Backdraft boys in BB, Fla. They sent me a new one, this ones seal was in bad shape, didn't even use the new one. My failed seal was in better shape. Honed the slave cylinder because of a sever out of alignment of the cylinder to the fork,...this caused the push rod to rub on the bore, plus the over-stroke...caused leakage, draining all fluid overnight. Adjusted the stroke and its been 6 months on the re-aligned slave and honed unit...still good. BTW...stroke adjustment are the nuts on the shaft from the clutch petal to the master cylinder. If you get a replacement, I'd dissassemble it look at the seal to make sure it has a good lip and the bore looks good. Hope this helps.

Thanks for all the help everyone.I talked with Craig at Custom Cars today and it turns out I have a Wilwood pull type unit that was done for the setup they did for me. The problem was that there was no name or part number on the slave and Reg told me originally it was a stock push set up. Am going to order a new one today from Summit.Jay,can you cancel the stock slave I ordered and I want to add a set of the new style black floor mats to my order.

Jim,
I'll alter your order and change it when the floormats arrive the end of this week.

Thanks
