eaglescout526 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Which brands are garbage, hit or miss and worth the money? Course the slave cylinder is a flawed set up to begin with. Luk seems to be good and worth your money if you have some laying around. Probably should buy them more often but they are more expensive outside of the clutch kit if your clutch is in fine shape or just replaced. Crown will get you out a bind but is a hit or miss(crown one just failed me after installing it back on June 17th. Noted in my build) Napa is like the crown. I think the crown failed the same way this one did, line popped out of the cylinder causing fluid loss. Any others to note for their quality?

Strokermjcomanche Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I have some mopar ones down in the basement, can't remember exactly what trans they're for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatslug87 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 My original Mopar one lasted to 195K miles in my '90 AX-15 until it started leaking. I remember reading somewhere that Mopar used Luk components, but I don't have first hand knowledge of that. Stroker, when you find your Mopar ones look for any other manufacturer info.

eaglescout526 Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 If any manu info it probably may be a vendor number somewhere on the part number tag. Even then that’s something I would have to call Chrysler for. I might have to get a luk slave cyl but money of course had to be tight at the moment so I had to go with the crown. There’s an upside to my current issue, this allows me to replace the rear main seal as I’m sure it is 30 years old and I was having an oil leak issue on the free way a while back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglescout526 Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 I wonder who 80995 is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 There's only two currently in production that I'm aware of. The plastic ones such as Luk, and the metal ones such as the Bendix. Comparing different brands out of current production stock seemed to back this up. I did not have a Mopar one to compare though, but I'm guessing any new Mopar one will be the same as the Luk. The Bendix one is fine. Or seems to be. The Luk is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 Can a Bendix one still be had though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure if I looked around I could find it under the Bendix P/N. They are in production either way, although I'm sure they only make them in batches.

When I pulled it all back apart and saw what happened, I tossed those cheesy little U-clips that come in the kit as far as I could throw them, and replaced them with small cotter pins (both ends bent back around so they would never come loose). Never had a problem again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 That’s a good idea. I thought about JB welding those clips into place just so they never move again. As for the Bendix, if that is still made at all that would be awesome to still get them. Those should be the original ones AMC used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
