would you buy a $19 master/slave cylinder?
 

I was looking for a new master/slave cylinder and i found both
here:
"http://replacement.autopartswarehouse.com/parts/autopartswarehouse/wizard.jsp?year=1995&make=NI&model=240-SX-003&part=Clutch%20Master%20Cylinder&dp=true" (Master cylinder)

I was wondering if anyone knew if there were any differences between the Master cylinder that is $19 and the other more expensive models? Aside from brand name, does it really matter? I just want something reliable and cheap.

oh crap....sorry I was trying to help my sister look for a new laptop, and the links got mixed up, fixed it.

sites down for me...

I found that autozone had some slave cylinders for 14 bux and some for 70 bux. So to be safe and economic I bought one in the 40 buck range.

bleh... I bought a $20 clutch slave cylinder a few months ago, and it randomly failed on me a week ago leaving me stranded. I changed the clutch master with an OEM one thinking taht was the problem and then I realized it was the slave... I replaced it with another $20 one cuz that was the only shop that had it in stock in the area.

I'm thinking about ordering a slave from nissan from ~$50 just in case this one fails so I can put it on.

just my bad luck tho.

Generally, the cheap ones are rebuilt from used cores. They clean them up, hone the bore (maybe) and install new internal components and seals.

Assuming that the core wasn't hosed (but they used it anyway) a rebuild done with quality parts is pretty much as good as new. Especially if "new" is "newly made by political prisoners in a Chinese reeducation camp" or "assembled by a nine year old chained to a table in an Indonesian sweatshop." Of course, the labor source for rebuilds can be just as bad...

Those kids did a good job on my shoes
