Slave cylinder rebuilds are a bit of waste of time given their cheapness and availability, the only thing in their favour is avoiding the fight with the retaining clip. An M/C rebuild is worth it if

The usual cause of bogging-down when you try to accelerate, especially if it starts and idles just fine, is a non-functioning damper i.e. lack of oil in the reservoir for SUs. An vacuum leak would no
