Bruce---What "new" slave cylinders have to offer is a clean bore for the
piston seal to operate in. Examine the one you have. It's very possible
that all you need is to clean up the bore with a (two stone) brake hone
and a variable speed drill motor. Hand finish using crocus cloth for a
super bore polish. Install another rebuild kit.

I have the same symptons as previous thread on this topic. Following Irv
korey's experience I removecd the slave cylinder rubber end cap and the
missing fluid drained out. I just overhauled clutch mechanicals, so
I guess it overwhelmed a tired slave cylinder. I installed a .75
bore master cylinder a few years ago and a ss flexible hose.
The slave has been rebuilt
as least once, about 5 years ago, so its likely time for a fresh one.
What's
the quality product nowadays, is Lockheed the choice?
Thank you,
