John,
If you decide to rebuild...no reason why you
shouldn't, be cautious of the "inexpensive" slave
cylinder rebuild kits. The good kits used to come
with a piston. The bad(cheap) kit's seal isn't big
for the bore...ask me how I know! I bought the kit
last summer before from a Moss reseller...very bitter
about it...rebuilt the thing had the wife in the car
pushing away on the clutch pedal...next thing I know
fluid is shooting out everywhere. Another 6-PACK
member came by with a proper rebuild kit & it worked
fine!
Cheers,
Todd
