Clutch Slave

[Grady]

Clutch on my '86 280i expired with no notice. No fluid in the reservoir or around/under the master so I'm assuming that means its the slave. (I think I replaced it a couple of years ago!) Anyway we are bit short of TVR part guys over here so can anyone give me a part number or car that I can cross-reference? I'm going to replace and not rebuild. Thanks Grady

If I have correct receipt, I bought it 1 year ago and 3 days ago! From the ticket it a TR-7 part but I need to call the supplier tomorrow.

Ha - It went out again, bad slave (we can't say that any more) seals. Seemed to be a lot easier last time. Bad place to use nylock locking nuts. Total PITA to get to.

Thanks but the bore looks pretty gnarly - I think I'll get a new one.

Just to finish this and at the risk of over communicating

Turns out it is a TR7 part (1980 and maybe other years)

What I took off: Girling: 746600xx (23??) (2003?)
What I ordered from BAP/Geon: BECK/ARNLEY 072-4583 (B/A)
What I received: Centric: 138.30003 "Premium Clutch Slave Cyl" made in Italy 138 360405
What I paid: $60 plus tax

Looks identical and works great but a PITA to install without dropping the exhaust. Grady
