Message :drive it. Basically the piston goes in and out. Doesn't matter if you're
:squealing around corners on an autocross track or drag racing. Slaves
:usually fail when they rust through due hydroscopic brake fluid and age.
:However if the clutch fork is not installed properly or has bent, etc. it could
:be applying too much pressure to the slave piston pushing it too far which
:is causing it to blow.
:There are plenty of long time hard core racers on this site who don't go
:through slave cylinders, because hard driving doesn't accelerate their
:wear. So you probably won't get much feedback on whether the pathfinder
:slave is compatible as the OEM one has always been fine.
:You can mask the problem if you want by installing a different type of
:slave, but wearing out a slave in 1,500 miles is not normal, so you will
:probably end up with the problem again sooner rather than later. Good
:luck.
:
:the slave cylinder is designed to move a clutch diaphram of a certian pressure when you increase the pressure of the clutch disc you over work the slave and the seals fail and start to bypass presto no clutch all i asked was if the pathfinder slave would work or not but apparantly a streight anwser is out of the question
