Keep popping slave cylinders...

[JIMBOkye]

So this is the 2nd time in 700 miles I have burst a slave cylinder. I can't figure out why. I'll try to post some pictures, but The piston is pushed out the front of the cylinder, the shaft is burst out.

I do have a different transmission in for the last 700 miles, but of course I don't see how that could make a difference. The housing is a slightly different casting but I'm not sure if that matters. My car is an 89 and I have no idea what year the transmission was or now is. Someone did a manual swap long before it was my car.

If a long bellhousing G260 (the 325e dual mass flywheel sort) was used without a thicker throw out bearing it could possibly pop it like that. Fork could be bent and pivot pin could be worn to shit as well.

I have a new fork if interested 27.00 shipped

I have an extra fork. Any ideas how to tell which trans it is?

Currently have the "late" eta trans, where before i had the "i" trans. So throw out bearing should be compatible.

at least I think it is the late eta, I hooked up my late shifter mounting

[JIMBOkye]

Hrmm but it has the small output shaft. I guess I'll drop it and measure the slave cylinder mount.

Well the bell housing was longer so I put the longer throw out bearing in. If this does not fix it I'll report back but otherwise I'd say problem solved.
