Quality Aftermarket Replacement Clutch Slave CylinderThese are made in Europe to OEM standards. The slave cylinder can be rebuilt, but the cost is hardly justified when a great quality replacement can be yours for such a low price. The clutch slave cylinder should be located behind the driver side wheel. Remove the two bolts, the clutch line and the slave cylinder should come off to the right side. The slave cylinder actuates the clutch arm by use of hydraulic pressure. They do wear over time due to their age and repeated use. The first sign of problems is a vague clutch, followed by some leaking around the seals and eventually total failure. If you start to loose pedal pressure on clutch operation, the most likely cause is loss of fluid from the Clutch Slave Cylinder. Dirt works its way into the cylinder and causes scratches and grooves which lead to fluid leak or air getting in. If your clutch is not as crisp as it used to be, why not replace it or keep one in the garage just in case. These are new, not rebuilt slave cylinders. We have sold a large volume of these with great success and great reviews. Fits all Mk1, Mk2 & 2.5 models, 1989>2005

Excellent delivery as per usual, one day. Bought his unit to put some positive pressure back into the clutch operation and I am not disapoionted. Fitting was spot on if somewhat ackward with limited clearence available. Poured a little brake fluid into and via the pipeline connection to lubricate the seal before operation. Fitted the main fluid pipeline finger tight prior to fitting the slave unit, made life a lot easier with the limited space. Careful with the top bolt its not square onto but slightly pointing downwards and could be cross threaded if not aware. Fitted, bled and working all within an hour. Why pay top dollar or replace the seals when this is value for money. Time will tell as to its integrity, but for the moment I am very happy with the purchase and the service of MX5 Parts.

Went for the aftermarket version due to price difference and because I only over about 5000 miles a year. Plenty of online videos showing how to fit and the only tip I would add is to make sure you have a proper brake pipe spanner to avoid rounding off the nut connecting the pipe to the old unit. Fitted fine and so far works well

Avoid, failed within a year. Rubber parts are inferior quality.

Purchased on Wednesday 22 April, 2015 Fitted on the Thursday. I have since discovered that this is now leaking. This has only lasted just over a year. Very disappointed.If you want a quick temporary fix then this is perfect. If not... spend extra on a better part.

Fitted this part in June 2012 and it's completely gone again and needing to be replaced in December 2014. Just over two years since the one that was replaced initially and that was probably the original from 1990. Absolutely shocking quality. Would not recommend.

Seemed good value, fitted August 2011 knackered by August 2014. Original part lasted 20 years, these don't last three!

Not sure if i would fit this again in hindsight rather than the £70 OEM version.It went on but Holy sweet Jesus it fought me tooth & nail.The faint union thread didn't want to engage the male pipe end and the angle looked slightly offset compared with the original making it difficult to fit considering the zero access as well.No leaks as yet but keeping my eye on this little trouble maker.Having said that it does work and i suppose £15 is pretty good value.
