Has anyone replaced their slave cylinder in recent memory? Just wondering where you bought it, and if its still working okay :-) I don't like buying the same part, from the same vendor, when the first one failed so dramatically, and so quickly. The original one lasted 150K miles. Be nice if the replacement part had gone even half of that....

Thanks,

John
