Slave cylinder - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So, like a month and a half ago my slave cylinder on my 91 180sx called it quits. It was a sunday and the dealership was not open so I headed down to my local part store and bought one. Installed it and it worked, however today the same symtoms re appeared. Now I am wondering, could there be something else wrong with my car or is it just that the aftermarket replacements are crap? I remember the first time i searched somone mentioned that the aftermarket ones are no good, that is why i ask.

Replacements are hit or miss if they aren't OEM. I have been on a non-OEM for about 2 years now and it's still fine. The first non-OEM lasted a whole 2 months though. I have an OEM one sitting around for when this one goes bad. And with non-OEM is usually miss more than hit. So just shell out for OEM and be done with it.
