Slave Cylinder - New or Rebuild?
I found a 1985 RX7 for sale that needs a new clutch slave cylinder so I have been looking around here for advice on fixing the problem. Is it better to buy a new slave cylinder or rebuild the one that is in the car? Are the stock mazda ones built better than the replacements?

Definately go with a new set. I replaced mine about five or six years ago. I got both from a local parts store for $70.00 (that's for both) in Cdn. funds! It's an easy procedure two. You'll need someone to pump the clutch so that you can bleed the lines. All in all, it took about an hour to do the entire job.

Am I the only "old school" member here?? Rebuilding is cheaper, and nearly as easy as buying new. I don't know, I guess I always get a kick out of freshening up old stuff to be like new, rather than automatically buying new.
Just my $0.02.
