My '87 SPG, for example, is on it's third slave but still has the original master. Saab's clutch kits always include a replacement slave cylinder, but they don't include a master. Why? Because, at least in theory, the master is a "life of the vehicle" part and the slave is a every so mo many miles part... YMMV, tho... -Justin
