Yes I do have a McLeod 1373 Slave. It's finally in and has a great feel in the garage with the Spec 3. I will drive it tonight or tomorrow. Very smooth feel to it. I spent the last month or two, (I went VERY SLOW), figuring out how to make it work. I even taught Red at McLeod a thing about it. The bad side is as mentioned the price $375.00 at Thunder or Summit. You need the 0.200" longer piston compared to the stock one, and I even shimmed it for the best setup clearance. I will update the thread as soon as I drive it. I have all McLeod Hydraulics. I know some will say I'm crazy but I really don't like the AP Hydraulics.

After driving the all McLeod Hydraulic setup I am impressed. The clutch is a Spec 3 and it couldn't be smoother. There is absolutely NO Chatter. It isn't even broken in yet. The pedal is as smooth as my 98 GrandAm. Easy effort and a feel as you release that is very linear. I'll post the part numbers for the McLeod and optional piston. The piston is 0.200" longer than the stock 1373 Slave piston. I also used a 0.050" shim to get a setup distance of 0.130". It sure would be great if the slaves were available cheaper. McLeod will change the piston at no extra charge. You should measure your setup distance on your actual clutch especially if you have a different clutch. McLeod sells different length pistons which can make the slave work for most any clutch.
