I think the same as wopontour. If I remember correctly it needs to be replaced not resurfaced not matter what it looks like. Cause mine didn't look that bad either but I put a fidanza in it anyway since it sucked bad enough to take apart that I didn't feel like doing it again.
207GTO4, id your car done yet? My mechanic just wrapped it up last night. I went and got a fidanza like you. Car feels soooo much lighter now!! How many miles before I can nail it? Anyone know?
yea my slave is dead, i didn't replace it, was told to when i installed clutch, it was saterdaynight/sunday morning no dealer was open couldn't find one so i dind't since i needed my car on monday morning...
i had a tech that works on these cars with me helping me so I know it was all good, but he said get one ASAP so i have a slave cylinder chilling on my work bench just no time to replace it...
it cost me about 115$ from dealer
clutch that touches brake fluid is dead...so im told, if my slave goes and leaks on my clutch, the clutch is dead...

Car got finished last thursday. My dad drove it home and I picked it up on sunday just beat the living hell out of it. According to spec they wanted a 450 mile break in but I don't believe in it. Honestly, I would wait till a good couple heat cycles go through it. Like maybe 100, 125 miles before I really started to take the clutch for a beating. And yes the flywheel is amazing. It breaks tire hard in second under WOT
If it all was perfect, then I could see 12's on the board.
I NEED TRACTION MODS!!

Guys just a quick question, this is the slave cylinder that everyone is talking about right? I was told its built into the throwout bearing: http://www.crateenginedepot.com/stor...P1893C229.aspx
I just ordered that along with the Centerforce DF kit, bolt kit, and clutch pipe from CED. That all I need? Thanks!!!

Really? Ok, I was just going off what Ive read from a few threads where people have had more luck the old way and have messed the slave up with the vacuum way. Can I get a vacuum bleeder at any auto parts stores? Im doing this all myself with a friend next weekend. And what tool is needed for the pressure plate bolts? Not just like 12mm bolts or anything? Thanks for the help.

Slave cyl is a Torx, like a T30 or so, don't remember for sure.
