I've got the standard BRD mazda B something unit...it failed at 1400 miles. The BDR boy said it was over-stroked, seal went past the bore. They also sent me a new one, at no charge and I'm the second owner! Kudos to Reg and Frank!!!...I dis-assembled the new unit before installation...the seal looked worse the the unit that failed. Wanting to drive my recently purchased Cobra, soooo...put the original unit back in with the seal that had a small nick on the seal lip. I was really expecting this to fail in short order, but now with 5200 miles, Mid-Ohio Cobra School, a 20 times at the 1/4 mile stuff...still ticking and not a drop of leakage?. Now, I do want to say...had to align the slave to the clutch fork (build set up was really bad) and keep the pedal adjusted so it won't over-stroke. Not sure why all the problem with slaves...heat with bigger hotter motors?
