Guru Newb Orange County, NY 41 Posts Member since: 2007/12/30 0:00	I know for a while there had been a run of bad ZF6 slave cylinders from seemingly every source. Hopefully that is no longer the case. Where should I go (dealership, online, etc) to buy a ZF6 slave? Thanks! Dan

Not sure if this was in response to the defective manufacture or not. Either way I'd pull your new one apart and check and report back to us. If you need tips on flipping the seal, let me know. In fact I'll start another post on it for everyone to see.

Guru Newb Orange County, NY 41 Posts Member since: 2007/12/30 0:00	Sorry - one more question: What is the difference between the '89 - '90 slave cylinder vs the '91 - '96? Thanks!

Guru Newb Orange County, NY 41 Posts Member since: 2007/12/30 0:00	I searched for pics, but couldn't come up with any that showed the difference in locations . At MAM, they showed the same pic for both slaves . Do you know what the differences are? IIRC, the slave I am currently using has a 12:00 inlet position and a 6:00 (or slightly offset) bleeder position (which I thought was dumb since air rises, but I use the Phoenix tool to bleed, so it didn't matter to me). Thanks! Dan
