it's a damper unit , the ones off an evo should fit

It can be bypassed, but I understand it changes the ease of finding biting point. And what old boy above said too!

No, you can refurbish one. There should be available repair kits somewhere. Quite popular procedure in PL instead of buying new cylinders.

I took it apart today , the disc thing on top has cracked so i byepassed it and just joined the two pipes together ,
all i can see it doing is letting off a little bit of pressure , all is fine without it ,

you can see the crack in second pic ,

Before you noticed it leaking, were you finding it hard to get into gear in the when the car was cold? Just wondering as mine is difficult cold and you reckon this box thing only releases a bit of pressure.
