Good thread,
Alas, not just was my master cylinder bad (changed that 2 months ago, O'Reliey's, thus far, makes a very good master cylinder, it was fairly easy to bench bleed fully too)., but my slave has been leaking from the seals while cold and it's time to replace it. Looks just like the picture a couple pages up, I think it's a Napa part.
Right now with my wife needing some medical attention and needing her car to do work related things as well, we're getting down to the wire of getting it replaced. I have a friend with a driveway, and I have a feq Q's.
Initially I was to save for the motorcraft slave, which I'm expecting is going to cost me about $90-200, but being as urgent as this is getting, I'm considering other options. The one in it now, that has been leaking after 20,000 miles, is EXACTLY the slave pictured above (no bellows, loose spring, big blue throwout bearing assembly). I think that's a NAPA part, which I Will be avoiding. O'Reliey's has a $49.00 slave cylinder with a metal black part on it where the input and bleeder lines come out, and a blue plastic throwout bearing end on it, and it has rubber bellows over the sides. It also has the perfection clutch attachment system on it (c-clip-ish thing instead of pushing in the white ring).
Questions
1.) How good are the slave's At O'REiley's and/or Perfection Clutch? The O'Reiley's looks like the one Perfection Clutch sells (metal baseplate with the custom quick-connect system on it, bellows, and a blue end on it), but I'm not sure Perfection Clutch would really sell through O'Reley Auto Parts though. Any experience with this version?
Here's a picture I added, which came from the Perfection Clutch website, the O'Reley's cylinder looks just like that.
2.) I'm considering just changing it out myself. I'm limited to my friend's gravel driveway to work on it, and am wondering if it's possible to swap the slave without taking the transmission out from under the truck completely, or if it's safe enough to do with the truck on ramps. My only lifting device otherwise is a 2 ton Jack and a pair of 2 ton Jack stands, and I was thinking about using the 2-ton jack to act as my transmission jack. Seems simple enough.
3.) If I do go with the o-reley's slave, while the manual might give me the answer if I go back to buy it later, it has this brown paper-esque square "tied" to the front of it, and looks like it comes pre-compressed. I read another threat on this forum about someone who got, I think the Precision Clutch, and this turned out to be there so it tears off when the slave is used the first time, to make the transmission easier to install. Is this the case?
