I know many of us standard tranny drivers have had slave cylinder problems.
I have researched and come to the conclusion that standard DOT3 brake fluid MAY speed up the deterioration of the slave cylinder. Many other jeepers, ,mechanics and even the auto industry has switched to DOT4 fluid for clutches now.
What's your opinion?
I am replacing my 3rd slave cylinder in 5 years and will not use DOT3 in this one.
LucasGirling DOT4 fluid was highly recommended, but it not available anywhere in my area, Castrol GTLMA isn't made anymore. The Valvoline synthetic stuff is next on my list, then I resort to the NAPA DOT4 fluid.
