To remove the piston seal, I used a syringe with some mineral oil in it to force the piston seal out using hydraulic pressure. Despite the lack of spring pressure, the oil poured out from the seal when using the syringe. Fluid loss was worse with t...

Again, its hard to tell from the pictures, but one can see the texture of the bottom portion of this piece.

As one can see in this picture, the burrs have cut into parts of this piston/seal. I also removed quite a bit of what I can only describe as dissolved rubber during cleaning. Remember that this seal handles all of the force applied when the clutch ...

This is the piston. Well, its less of a piston than an extension of the piston. I'm going to call it a "piston follower". The actual piston is a rubber ring. This piece sits on top of the rubber ring and transfers force to the clutch re...

What is depicted here is the new slave cylinder placed in the bellhousing of the transmission. Notice that the old slave cylinder leaked fluid all over the inside of the bellhousing.

One of the burrs can be plainly seen in the upper "corner" of the piece. Lack of proper surface preparation and poor quality control at the factory. These burrs have caused gouges in the seal, which is in the next image.
