M50D Slave Cylinder

[Yardbird]

The slave cylinder in my 2000 2.5l started leaking last week. It shifts ok as long as there's fluid in the reservoir. I shift quick because it seems to lose pressure if I hold the clutch in and won't shift unless I pump it up. Does anyone know how long I might be able to drive this before it won't hold pressure at all?

Thanks, guys.

It really depends. I drove a f150 with a leaking slave for many months. At the end I was filling twice a day. I got to the point that I knew when to fill because of changing pedal feel. I finally bought a different beater truck.

Some guys said they have driven years like that, I personally have gotten weeks out of one and lost another completely within days of noticing the first hard shift. It's all about how lucky you are. No way to predict when it's gonna leave you sit.
