On the way in to work today, clutch hit the ground and isn't coming back up and all symptoms are pointing to the slave cylinder going bad and needing replaced. Not a big deal, but before I just go and buy one, does anyone have any insight into OEM vs Napa vs Dorman vs ??

OEM from Stealership - $67.97 plus tax - http://goo.gl/uZIqV2
Napa - ~$36 - http://goo.gl/OkXWs2
Dorman from Amazon Prime - $23.99 - http://goo.gl/CFQ7TE

Are these the same? If not, what would be the advantages/disadvantages of not going OEM other than price?

Thanks in advance

 

Get an OEM one. I got a slave from oreilly auto parts and I have a comp twin disc and you have to modify the old one to fit the pull to push conversion, but with the O'Reilly one I didn't have to modify anything so that to me would be a major difference from OEM to aftermarket

 

hmmm so you are suggesting getting an OEM which sounds like you had to modify it to work, but the one from O'Reilly you didn't have to modify to work with your Comp Twin? Maybe I misread what you typed there.

Wonder if there is any modifications needed or a particular slave cylinder for the Exedy Twin..

 

I am finding when it comes to car parts, inexpensive doesnt mean cheaply made anymore. it used to. not much to a slave cylinder. pretty hard to get it wrong

 

Correct. If i had an oem one i would have to modified it to work with my clutch setup. Since I got one from O'Reilly's auto parts store I did not have to modify the slave cylinder to work with my clutch setup, which to me is a big deal because the bleed screw on the slave cylinder was on the other side of the slave cylinder compared to where the banjo fitting from the oem one which is a major difference.
