Anyone mfr something thats more reliable, adjustability would be a plus

Had enough of these gm pos they simply dont last.

Sure not driving it often doesnt help but havent been able to get more than 100 mi out of these, geometry ,throw is on the money.

Some food for thought and things to check. This is an unusual case of trouble because those slave cylinders generally give many years of trouble-free service. Do you have any special parts or modifications? Does the clutch pressure plate have high pressure? Are you filling the system with the recommended fluid? Have you examined the fork and pivot for wear? Also, the front bearing retainer [where throwout bearing slides] should be smooth.
