GM Factory External Slave? First, no, this is not a GM vehicle. I know you get a lot of RX7/LS1's on here.
Quick details.
1993 RX7 w/LS1/T56.
The Slave/TO bearing issues that are prevailent on almost all these vehicles annoy me. My buddy just had to do a clutch/slave cuz his slave blew out and smoked his clutch.
The question is, GM makes an EXTERNAL SLAVE and I was curious if anyone has installed one of these? I cant seem to find a write up anywhere. This winter I am putting a clutch in, either LS7 or McLeod, and I will be getting a new slave of course, but I would prefer the External one if its a viable option.
Search hasnt returned anything for me. Only thing I can find is when swapping to a cable clutch (which I would rather do..) you need the mustang cobra T56.
Anyone have any experience with these?

See, thats what I thought...BUT, go to GM (I work at a Honda dealership that is attached to a GMC/Buick etc, really nice for my swap lol)
and they pull up the VIN off my crashed car, and BAM, there is an external slave. I just couldnt figure it out..still cant.
Recommendations on a slave then? Any better ones then the factory delco style?

Thanks, with my GM discount, I get parts at cost, so even then probably cheaper the GM way. If I remember, it was like 80-95$ for the factory slave.
245$ for the external.
Ill try to get a part number for the external, see if I can cross reference it with anything...try and figure out why it pops up for my car then.
