apperently yes...

But I'm fairly sure I've mixed them up in the past and not had a problem.

i think the verto slave cylinder has a circlip in the end to stop the piston pushing out, where as the non verto has the two big nuts to stop over travel of the clutch arm so does not need the circlip.

i thought i was told that the verto had an internal spring that pre loads the clutch and should not be used on a non verto set up

on the other hand i think i have one one my car and it works, so who knows.

The Verto slave is shorter. They are kind of interchangable, but you are better getting the correct one.

I don't think there is a better or worse, just the correct one for the correct cluch.

A man without a project is like a like a woman without a shopping list.

The non verto cylinder definately has the spring and circlip fitted. The circlip is to stop you being able to push the piston out of the bore hence losing fluid and damaging the seal. The spring is fitted with a nylon cup that retains the seal in the correct place and keeps it square to the piston.

alrighty, thanks for that!
