M30 clutch slave cylinder

im in need of some help!!

since iv bought my car it has always had a heavy clutch pedal... i thought most probably needed the clutch as the pressure plate had become stiff....
how ever this morning i checked the clutch resvoirer in there i saw a red/pinkish type fluid in there (most probably power steering fluid)
im gonna be changing the master cylinder and the slave cylinder now
i know that the master cylinder is based on a e30 but im not sure of the slave cylinder??? will a e30 one fit? or i need a e34 one??

thnks

You'll need an E34 one
I got mine from GSF for around £25

E30 one works perfectly on mine, just fitted both master and slave brand new. I am using an E28 clutch/fly on an E34 engine/box.

I bet they're the same part number then from GSF

I wouldn't be suprised mate.

This was the first time I've played with clutch hydro parts and couldn't belive how easy it was to fit and bleed, the clutch feels almost new again with new master & slave...

I'd forgotten how nice these 335's are to drive

According to realoem, the 318iS slave cylinder is the same part number as the M30 one, but the m20 one is different. I just went with a M30 one just to be on the safe side.
