I had always assumed that all bleeder screws used their conical seat to seal, I guess that you always learn something

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.
