Ok here is the scoop, I bought a centerforce clutch (with pressure plate) but no slave cylinder or release bearing included. Now the problem, my slave cylinder is leaking so I need a new one. hence the reason for changing the clutch. The dealers around here are telling me its 200+ for the slave and another 200+ for the release bearing. Or I can buy the whole kit for 400... which is slave, release bearing, clutch and pressure plate. This doesn't sit right with me so I just bought the slave cylinder and it has a bearing on the outside of it which I believe is the release bearing but everyone here tells me the release bearing is a separate thing that fits into the slave.
Someone PLEASE HELP! is the release bearing another 200+ dollar part or are the people around here morons.
I drive a 1997 Sunfire GT
Thanks

OKAY.... we just had a new clutch in my mothers 1998 2.2L sedan.... the slave cylinder, and throw-out bearing in one. and they come in most clutch kits....
yup i paided 300$ cnd for my release bearing/slave cylinder. They bearing comes with spec clutches but not the center-forces. I say return the center-force and pay an extra 100$ for the spec with the bearing. I know i should of.
Go to Advance Auto, they're about $100, they may have to order it, and it is indeed one piece, the dealer's full of stuff... Also, ive got a 98 Sunfire GT, think it was the same part #.
Ahh ok ok, i heard there were two types, one is an internal slave like mine and the other is external with the bearing on a set of forks. this is just what im told, again not trusting their opinions anymore.
But anyway, I should be ok with the slave I bought then? it does have a bearing on the end of it. heres a link and it will show the slave I bought.

Yup thats it. did u buy it at maslack??? If so how much?
Yea got it their but the the ones who are messing with me, atleast the ones I talked to in this town. But list price was $273.00!! luckilly my buddy has a body shop and gets parts at a discount so I paid $160.00
So the slave cylinder I've shown on my cardomain is all I need? I dont need to purchase anything else? (besides clutch and pressureplate)

mine had lines on both ends, not just the one like yours shows, it seems one was removed?
Ya you gotta the the line off your old bearing. Hey man i see your from sudbury, i live in azilda. Check out the regional forums. Some of us are meeting at costco at around 8 tomoro. Should come out and i can give you much clearer instructions.
Damn I would but they made me work! I told them day shift on sundays so I could hit up cruise nights. Next weekend I'll be there.
