Matt's slaves.
Where can I get one of "Matt's OEM Slave cylinders and how much are they?
The clutch is certainly something that reduces the pleasure of driving my 75. I have changed every part of the system and am now starting on replacing the replacements. |

There is no such thing as "Matt's OEM Slave Cylinder". The OEM cylinder was an AP unit and he has a few old stock AP cylinders for sale. You have to make a decision as to whether to buy a slave that will be 12+ years old already or a new LuK one. I would go for the latter rather than bying one with 12+ year old seals. |

I more confused than ever.
I replaced the master cylinder with a LUK one and within a month of fitting I noticed that the pedal can be worked down to the floor. I can live with it but didn't really like the "quality of it. My thinking is that judging by the amount of pedal pressure that has to be used to disengage the clutch there must be some sort of design fault. No reduction in the ease of use has occurred having changed every part of the clutch. I guess that the enormous force on all of the parts especially the seals and bearing. I am thinking about the possibility of just changing the bearing on the cylinder. Anyone know if this can be done?

Take the metal slave cylinder out and throw it in the bin.........they are not fit for service.
I've just replaced the second one of these, having failed in the manner of yours. Brian |
