Every other make model and kind of bleed screw I've ever seen too... Porsche said na' we are going to be different and make EVERYTHING from plastic.


I mean when I put the first one in I told my buddy "they ship brake fluid in plastic bottles; so whats wrong with a plastic slave?"... now I know its not necessarily the slave cylinder walls or the plastic piston; its the rubber inside the plastic that fails (or dryrots).


I don't think the metal ones I saw on Amazon are for this trans; so I opted just to buy a pair of Sach's branded OEM slaves. One I installed and one I shoved in the door card so murphy's law won't get me.
