Cliff,
I wish I could help you with determining if you need to have the units
sleeved. As both units are cast out of Aluminum, one would suspect that you
would want to have them "sleeved" when they are honed out of tolerance....
which I suppose you can only determine when you do the rebuild and find that
they still lead AFTER the rebuild.
For me I have always planned on taking both slave and master out and having
them both sleeved for the past several years, but I have just never gotten
around to it as it would put the car out of action for a while.
Really, the benefit of having them sleeved is a reduced need for honing and
(from what I have heard,) longer life between rebuilds.
I suppose the bottom-line is that, if it were me and I was taking both slave
and master out for a rebuild, I would take them out and have them sleeved
before the rebuild.
Chances are though that just a rebuild will do you just fine.....has for me
every couple of years. Confused yet? I sure am. :)
I will do it one day (probably during our two weeks of winter down here,)
when I don't plan on driving the car for a couple of weeks and can send them
out.
Regards,
Allan (in San Diego)

Subject: Clutch Help
Thanks to AC, Jim and Dr. Moonstone for helping me with the clutch
problem.
Both AC and Dr. Moonstone agree that I may need/Should rebuild both the
Master and Slave units. I have ordered the rebuild kits from Classic
Sunbeam. My question is how can I tell if the units need to be
re-sleaved in addition to, or as part of, the rebuilding?
Jim I did not know there was a slave cylinder lash adjustment. Is it in
the shop manual or could you elaborate.
Thanks again you guy are a great help.
Cliff
