New slave cylinder, it has the bearing on it.
I just did my clutch and was it was recommended to get a complete new clutch hydraulic pre-blead assembly to install. I didn't though and have had a few minor bleading issues.

The slave is a must no matter how well the one in the tranny looks. Replace it or you WILL have issues with it failing. Trust me on this one as I have had my tranny out myself 4 or 5 times now and learned very quickly what happens if you don't replace it.

Yes, get a brand new stock one from the dealer. Or you can order one from Crate Engine Depot for a huge discount compared to what the dealership will rip you off at.

Three thousand is a little excessive for break in. You will only require 1000miles to break it in. The Slave is a must. If you do not replace it you will be sorry in a few months cause you will be pulling it all apart again to replace it.

Old School rule of thumb is if you ar replacing the clutch replace the throw out bearing. So in our case because it is all on unit you will replace it with a "Cylinder 12583857" Crate engine depot is a great price.

cheers

Good luck, mine was a bitch. It was well worth it though. I made a thread with everything you need, including fluids. Will have to search for it because I'm to lazy to find the link myself. Been stressed out man, I'm outta here with some freinds. PeAcE!

just picked up my car for exedy, lsd, and axles done.
i pick up a bit of reverb on decel. is it because of no springs in the disk?
i dont really notice it in town tonight. little stiffer pedal, and pedal setup seems
good both ways. :thumbsup
