Default Are ebay master cylinders any good?

I found some clutch master cylinders for cheap on ebay. I am probably not going to go that route but I am curious if they would be any good?

Has anyone had experience with them? And should they have the same problems as he 98-00 master cylinders?

if gm themselves made shitty mc's then i would highly doubt a ebay knock off would at best do as good of job as the 98-00 ones.. stick with whats proven.. either a gm 01-02 if youre ballin on a budget, or get the tick if you have got the cash.. my buddy bought a oreiley's brand reman. one and it didnt last over 2 months before the tranny wouldnt shift..

See, what is really cool bout the internet (and you will find this out quickly) that EVRYONE is an expert

Seriously though, it is (especially this site) a GREAT place to find info on our cars, and help people out. Just got to weed through some of teh BS you will run through from time to time, but other than that, it's all good!


Guess I better get back to work......
