Re: [DML] leaky slave cylinder?

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxx>]

Ryan,

In approximately 50% of master or slave cylinder replacements the other cylinder will fail within 6 month's of the initial replacement. We are in total agreement with PJ Grady that you should change both master and slave cylinders simultaneously.

As a side note, if you're on a tight budget you can go ahead and change only the slave cylinder. The master cylinder will usually leak for period of time before it completely fails. If you decide to go this route you should occasionally inspect the piston section of the master clutch cylinder located behind the brake and clutch pedals for "wetness".

Hey list,
So here is something interesting, I have to keep filling up my clutch 
resivor about once a week or so. Think if the line and the slave cylinder is 
replaced that should fix the problem? I talked to thefolks down at PJ Grady 
they suggested that I also replace the master cylinder.But I think it should 
be ok. What do you guys think? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.
