Differences in Slave Cylinders
Ok guys, I have been reading about all the clutch/hydraulics information I can and have run across some here saying only use the GM Slave Cylinder. Can someone tell me why?
What are the differences in designs? (OE vs. Aftermarket)
Who has had experience with one or the other, or both.
Thanks all.
Joe

Seals can dry up sitting around on parts store shelves, I was a victim also. Most factory versions are made in the same place in mexico. I got my last one from Monster clutch, which they buy direct & sell at a decent price, fresher off the assembly line..

Interesting point, I would think the GM parts would have been sitting on the shelf longer than the aftermarket parts...?

I have searched as stated in the OP. I'm looking for a more definitive comparison or side by side if you will to understand why the GM parts are superior if they truly are. If you have some links, please post them.
Thanks.
Thanks.

If they have "AP" cast into the base and are silver then they are the same as what GM uses/sells. The difference is, as someone here has already pointed out, the ones on parts shelves sit for a long time and the seals dry out. We've circumvented this and buy things directly so there is very little "shelf time" on what we sell.
Truth of the matter is, even paying big bucks for a GM cylinder, you still run the risk of the seals being dry.
