Exclamation Slave Cyinder...AGAIN!

Ok. I had my slave cylinder replaced about a month and a half ago when it went out. Just now I had the car towed to the shop again because it went out again. So my question is...what would cause a slave cylinder to go out twice in 2 months? It was replaced with a new one by a pro last time, so its not that it was done by someone shady. My car has a b18 swapped in, so if there is anything from a swap that could cause this, inform me.

The shop I took it too said its going to continue to go bad every couple months because of the way the slave cylinder has to be mounted. Its a hydro tranny and he said it should have a cable. But I have seen other people with this same setup so what are they doing to make it work?

It might me mounted differently on a cable tranny vs. hydro, as in more severe angle between the cylinder and the clutch release fork. That's the only thing I can think of, maybe someone else will chime in. Is the slave for the cable and hydro the same part #?

Yeah, I figured it out. It now has a home made bracket to make it a straighter shot. Its my solution instead of buying the $200 ones Ive seen.
