My slave cylinder is leaking at the back end (opposite side of the push rod). When it leaks down, i replaced the copper o-rings around the main bolt, and it will be fine for a while, until it goes again.

Is there a trick to keep it from leaking there, or is the slave cylinder just bad?


went thru the search, but couldnt find what i was looking for -- is there a cheap alternative to the dealer for getting a new slave cylinder, or are the rebuild kits the only option?

so...no aftermarket alternative for the slave cylinder then?

As far as I know, there are no aftermarket alternatives. If you replaced the crush washer and it doesnt leak, then I think you will be fine. If you have to replace it, NAPA can get you one. Not too terribly expensive and easy to replace.

hehe, well, at least someone eventually replied. better late than never, 3 weeks aint bad ;)

I replaced the copper washers on the slave cylinder again and everything has been fine since.

Thanks for replying tho :)
