Installed Clutchmasters Stage 1 with the flywheel about 5 month ago.
Normal street driving, stock SVTF, 15 k max.. Salve cylinder just died, crap!
And it was changed too as came with the set!
Now I have to get theese guds opened again.... :angry:
Do I need to consider changing clutch disk just in case it is the same crap???

You could ask ZTWsquared if his contacts can get it cheaper.
How do youknow for sure that the slave went?

5:14 am? Man, that is hardcore ... yeah, from the US I can do an OEM Ford clutch slave cylinder for FSVT at 170 all in GTA ...
funny thing, when I do an application check, all the aftermarket brands such as Wagner list the same part for
all manual Foci, SVT and non-SVT ... so for reference purposes only (I have no idea how different/same they might be) the non-SVT part would be 60 bucks all in.

ZTWsquared, Thanks for the quick reply!
How long will it take you to get it? Is it original Ford one?
Can you also get Clutchmaster's clutch disk for me? (Stage 3)

Liquid is pooring from under it... Clutch pedal is certainly right to the floor now. 400 bucks for labor soo I'm also thinking to change the cluthc disk also..

Yes - absolutely original - I buy it from a Ford dealer -
just spoke to my source and he told me that physicallly a regular MTX clutch slave cylinder looks and fits like the SVT unit, but they have different internals - which is why aftermarket parts put into an SVT will fit, but tend to blow quickly.
Unfortunately it would take me more than a week to get it ... but at least the price is right 170.00 vs. 316.00 here.
I'm checking my sources for the clutch disc and will get back to you on that.

Thank you everyone for help.
I've ended up replacing fricken cylinder with the dealer's one after riding on a motorcycle through the hail a few times this week. ...
