I'll tell you that external set up I got from Forte is like a toy to work on
If I lost a slave it would be running in 30 mins. Worth a look
Don't know what you have I have a tko600
I too have a TKO600. But my steel bellhousing does not allow enough space for an external slave. I tried many options. I love the way the internal slave functions and the light pedal pressure needed to operate the clutch. The leak was not from the hydraulic packing, but was from the nipples that screw into the body of the cylinder. Totally my ignorance when installing it as I did not check to see if the manufacturer properly tightened the nipples. When I got the new replacement slave I discovered the loose nipples. When I pulled the old slave the loose nipples were evident. A real shame!!! That these were not torqued correctly and that no instruction accompanied the slave stating that tightening was essential.

It was a pain to have to pull the transmission and I thought about replacing the clutch, but with 3500 miles I look the line of least resistance and talked myself out of removing the bell and replacing the clutch. But it is in my future if the slipping continues.
