Hi, my slave cylinder died out a few days ago and I just swapped in a new one.

The problem is when we get done bleeding. The car works great. Clutch is stiff, tranny goes in gear, etc etc. But after letting the car sit for like 5 mins. It looses pressure all over again.

Has anyone had this problem before? Its like something is sucking air back in the system. Would the master cylinder be causing this hmm?

When I changed my Slave cylinder I changed the Master at the same time.

Did you buy OEM ? I went the cheap route before (never again) with the slave and got an auto-parts store brand. I changed it 3 times under warranty in a 6-month period due to it leaking.

That blows.

Try a a SS clutch line & OEM master cylinder, cant hurt right?

Well, I guess I got a bad slave. I let it sit and after a few mins it leaks pretty bad.
So I guess its just leaking all this fluid and losing pressure. :/

So I guess now, is there a website or some place where I can order a new nabco slave cylinder?
