Yes it is, and it works fine

The metal slave employed in the last clutch change on the Odyssey Blue Connie SE saloon I bought from John "Master" is about to be replaced with one of these, as the metal slave is noisy as hell after less than two years and 7000 miles.

I've dealt with enough metal hydraulic cylinders over the years to know that the bore of such a cylinder is far more aggressive an environment for a rubber seal than a plastic one, coupled with the fact the wife's car still has the original fitment slave after fifteen years leads me to the conclusion that the plastic slave is fine for most people
