Slave cylinder

[Slade]

So l just lost my 4th slave cylinder in 50,000 miles, the last one lasted 30,000. Is there anyone making a metal one that's not going to split on the seam? Thanks

You may have done this already, but check the throw-out bearing. It seems like when people are having a hard time with the slave and master, the root problem is the effort required for the clutch to disengauge more than substandard hydraulic parts.

Just a thought.

After your 4th slave, I think the issue lies elsewhere. Looks like its time to pull the tranny.

Um what year truck do you have? Are you sure there isn't firewall flex that could be ruining your slaves?

Sig says 94. I think it was fixed by then from the factory right? If it's splitting the slave on the bellhousing, I stand behind the premise there is probably something wrong in the belhousing.

Is there a possibility of too much master cylinder travel?
I mean could that do it?
I know when I had my transmission out of my 94, I accidentally pushed the clutch down and the same thing happened with the slave.
So with that said, also sounds pressure plate related.
Slade, is it a aftermarket clutch?

Oh sorry tapatalk didn't put the. sig in. In that case it's not your firewall. You should take your slave off and see what kind of movement you have. Sorry I'm kind of sick and noticed it was the slave not master

Slave cylinder problems are always related to high pedal effort. High pedal effort is due to the throw out bearing galling on the input shaft sleeve. It's not well known, but you really need to pull your TOB fork periodically, and get your hand in there with a rag and wipe all the old dirty grease off, and re-apply new. Also inspect the fork for wear. The TOB contact surface should be very small. If the fork has a worn flat spot on it, then it is time to replace the fork.
