Well my car really stranded me for the first time. The slave cylinder for my hydraulic clutch blew out. It's pretty obvious when it happens! Luckily I was only about two blocks from my wifes office. I just put it in 1st and started the car and was able to limp over there. I got a ride home and grabbed the trailer... now it's sitting in the garage...and leaking brake fluid.
So, I need to replace the slave. It is a concentric slave in the bellhousing - so the engine has to come out. Oddly enough I don't really know what's in there since I bought the engine & transmission assembled as a unit. I suspect it is one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MONDEO-MK2...-/250928655829.
Looking around it seems like there are a few different options: the Mondeo slave (above) and a Saab slave http://www.sbdev.co.uk/Duratec/Bellh...components.htm.

Anyone have any idea if the Saab setup is better/worse than the Mondeo?
Chris, have you thought about changing the slave when you do your transplant? Are you switching your flywheel / clutch?

PS: at first I thought this was dumb, but now that I think about it, it seems like a really good idea: https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/pr...asp?RecID=4968
