Well, it's cold as sh!t outside, so I'm going to have to tow her. My clutch pedal only comes back about an inch from the floor, and it won't even begin to go into reverse. Yay.

So, I just wanted to double/triple-check that the KA slave cylinder will work 100% on my SR tranny. As far as I can see, it's the same part. I'm going to tell the shop to just order the OEM part if this is the case.

Additionally, if any of you have the Nismo slave or braided steel line, could you please give your opinions. I want to know if it's really worth like $270 for those parts. I don't think it is....

Thanks!

I'm using my KA slave on my SR. Same exact part. I never took it off the line when I did my swap. Never had to bleed the clutch!

yeah, i think that's what alan did, too. and this slave cylinder has had a slooooooooow leak for almost 2 years now. it just decided to give up last night when the temp hit about 5 degrees or so. i went out to drive to studio, and the clutch only came back up about an inch...maybe. so, no drivey fo' me!
