I had the MPL installed this week. I have not driven it yet but the mechanic said when he drove it that it was noticeably better than before.

Can you shed light on how much the MPL is?
Where do you buy it?
Direct from MPL (no price on their website) or local in USA?

thanks
Mike

Mike,

I don't recall off the top of my head. They were easy to work with. I might suggest you contact them for a quote. No doubt with exchange rates changing prices might have as well.

I think an MPL is close to $500 U.S. these days.
I ordered a GT2 slave today. It will be a few weeks before I know if using one is feasible.

Ouch really? I don't recall it being remotely that expensive. Around $300 if I recall shipped. But I guess that is why they don't post prices anymore.

When I bought mine it was $195 usd plus ship - think around$35. Did not work for me as my pedal release is very low - so just made it worse.

MPL is perfect...just what I needed. Bid on e bay and paid 155 euros for it. Worth every penny...

My working theory is a 3-5 mm spacer between the slave and mounting point might have helped.
I also have heard a rumor that a 996 TT GT2 slave spaced out a similar distance will work.
I plan on trying this out here shortly this spring.

Ok, bought both parts from PP. They have the same bore diameter so no joy

Does anyone know if a stainless steel lower slave hose is available from anyone. The stock rubber hose has potential to/or does expand and I want to reduce that possibility. Trying to increase function of slave as I have a very low release/or disengagement point.

I just thought I'd post to say that if the Mpl slave cylinder is still available, pick one up. Wish I had installed it a while back but must say its a huge improvement in clutch feel and action. I had be running my Rs clutch/lwf and a pressure plate from a 3.3 turbo with the stock slave cylinder and the clamping force was high, pedal effort was always really stiff and a pain in traffic. So if you have a pretty hardcore disk/pp combo the mpl takes the edge off. Also note the release point isn't so high up anymore which to me with my long legs is welcome.
