I have a 93 f-150 with a 300 6 cylinder with a manual trans. I have replace the hydrualic slave cylider 3 times in the last year. It blew out again a couple of days ago and this one has less than 500 miles on it. Is there something causing these things to go out?

Are you using genuine Ford slave cylinders or aftermarket? Do you have any kind of special clutch disk and pressure plate, or just a stock style?

I have used slave cylinder from both oreilys and napa. The clutch is stock .....nothing special there.

I read a lot of these forums and these internal slave cylinders from the parts places do not seem to hold up well. I would use only a genuine Ford slave cylinder. When you consider the labor it takes for replacement it is a no-brainer as far as I'm concerned.
