Default Slave Cylinder replacement

About time to get my car on the road, but want to swap slave cylinders before installing the new engine. Now, is there a difference between the Ram slave cylinder and the GM 01+? I have the Ram adjustable master, and stock slave on the car right now, didn't even know about the drill mod at the time. =\ Will I be able to perform that, and replace the slave cylinder relatively easy with the engine out?

Difference between Ram + GM cylinders?
Drill mod during replacement of slave cylinder?

I think from what I've gathered is GM only installed the restrictor on the master cylinder side of the line. And I've also heard that theres only 1 manufacturer of slaves in the USA I bought the cheap one from advance for 66 bucks (after military discount)

I got the same one (with the discount) the first one when out after like 3 weeks. The second that they replaced for free is still going and it has been like 4 months. Gotta love the millitary discount!!

Hmmm... I just didn't want to end up with another "99 style" slave cylinder that doesn't work worth a damn. Your slaves came with throwouts right? $66 is pretty damn cheap.

From what I've heard they are all the same thing made by the same manufacturer. Mine came with an O ring and the actual slave with the throwout bearing. That sucks that yours went out right away. I'd be pissed since I dont want to be pulling my tranny again untill this new clutch is done

I updated our listing on that item, we do include the quick connector for the Camaro Applications only (not pictured), If you are in need of a quick connector only shoot me a email with your address & we can ship you one via UPS for the cost of shipping only. I have some extras laying around here.
