While I have the motor/trans out I'm thinking maybe I should do something with the slave. I have a new Diamond clutch, resurfaced flywheel, & pilot bearing ready to go in, & I'll order a remote bleeder soon. I've had the slave all apart and the seal/piston looks great and the TOB seems fine too. I didn't have any problems or leaks before I pulled everything apart, and the TOB was nice & quiet. I keep hearing bad things about the cheap slaves from Advance, etc. so the cheapest real solution is the AC slave which is about $120 I think. I read that the original GM slave is damn good and mine doesn't have that many miles on it. So should I cave and spend the $120 or just put my GM unit back in? I'd rather spend the $ on other parts. I suppose I could just get a new TOB for about $50. What do you guys think?

Put in a new GM slave and pilot bearing. Don't skimp or you'll hate yourself later.

I always replace the slave/TOB when I do a clutch swap regardless of the mileage.
