2004 GTO failed three slave cylinders within two months? hey guys im not sure if im posting this the right way so if im not, correct me as ive never used a forum before.
anyways i have a 2004 gto. manual trans. i bought the car a few months back. shortly after i bought it my slave cylinder went out. (clutch fluid bottom of bellhousing). i bought a new slave cylinder from Monster clutch. i had a nearby shop put it in. a few weeks of driving. it fails again. i called monster clutch and the part is still warrantied. they send me a new one. i just got finished up putting everything back together and the slave cylinder fails again. ive searched and searched on google and what not to find a solution. none prevail. im going to give monster clutch another call tommorow and see if they cant help. im not sure if another part on the car is causing it to repeatedly fail or what. any help is much appreciated. thanks

No. It just keeps leaking. And by shimming, you mean a shim between the slave cylinder and the transmission right? If so, there's nothing between the two. Its just metal to metal.

When the trans. comes out this time someone will have to take some measurements. LS1GTO.com has some good info too. If the slave is being over extended (needing a shim) it will have problems as you have described.

get a slave from the dealer they are around 175.00.
if you paid alot less than that then you bought an aftermarket one. all the after market non gm t56 slaves that weve installed at my shop leak sooner or later. i wont put non gm slave in unless the customer provides their own part. no warranty on labor.

Just wanted to clarify.
