Clutch Slave Cylinder Recommendation

[MRB]

My clutch slave cylinder failed this morning. There is a score in the bore so I want to get a replacement rather than a seal set. Should i stick with a more expensive delphi or TRW one or are the lower cost ones any good?

Any recommendations or opinions appreciated.

The difference in price is about £20. Do you want to change it again in 6 months if it fails again for £20?

Terry, is this a generic 'you get what you pay for' comment or do you have experience of the cheaper ones failing?

Thanks,

Mark my reply was opinion which you asked for in you first request. I personally have no knowledge of these.

Worth changing the master cylinder as well at the same time. I went through three or four slave cylinders. It was only when I changed the master as well that I got a slave to last.

My opinion and experience shows that anything that has rubber in its worth paying for the OEM part - especially with hydraulic items. The cheaper pattern parts never last. I replaced the clutch slave on my Landy once with a pattern part - half the cost of the OEM one - it lasted 6 months. The OEM replacement is still fine 10 years later! Same is true of the rear wheel cylinders.
