I have for my DD camaro it failed 5 months later, On a corvette no thank you, you're better off purchasing a tried and true OEM AP slave from Gene over at cultrag performance. I had too pull out my transmission a second time for something else, its not fun.


Don't be me, do it once, do it right.



Also while you're at get a long remote bleeder, makes bleeding a lot easier.

I would go with a new oem unit, too much work to go through if it fails prematurely

I agree - you may spend a bit more on OEM parts, but the quality will be better.

Def do NOT do any of the parts stores units. Do OE for sure.
