Hi all - I hate that this is my first post, but I'm in a bit of a bind. I have a 1986 LJ71 JDM 5-speed 2.4L turbodiesel that is currently out of commission because of the transmission. I need a new slave cylinder and possibly a new rod. I've already searched to the best of my abilities here and have come up dry. I found this part online and ordered it to see if it will work. I would appreciate any thoughts on if you think it will and/or if there are other places I can look for parts. You all know it can be a nightmare. But, you're also the experts, and this amateur would appreciate any help. Thanks!

Hello,
As you know already, most of these parts are discontinued.
One option is trying a part from a newer model.
You can try a newer slave cylinder. The part number is 31470-60171. It may work.
Another option is a slave cylinder from a 90 Series Prado or a Hilux.
Yet another option is trying a replacement part from AISIN or Denso.
Hope this helps.

Look around as these have been around for a long time.
My 1995 Hdj80 uses a 2023 hzj79 slave.
Dimensions are identical, minor hose configuration which is better in my view.

Here is a rebuild kit. Notice how it fits every Toyota in North America. Therefore try getting your hands on either a rebuild kit or one of the models posted.
@NoisyAmerican , I just bought one last week. They are definitely available. Cylinder Assy, C/R #31470-35110. I have a LHD.

Thank you all for your suggestions! After a few false starts, I was able to find a part that worked on Australian eBay. Linked here in case anyone else encounters this issue. The great thing about Toyotas is that parts are relatively easy to come by. The challenge I faced was finding the exact one to fit my specific model. But, problem solved thanks to this amazing group!

@NoisyAmerican You threw everyone off by asking for a 'slave' cylinder when you really wanted a 'master' cylinder.

Yeah. That’s what my mechanic and I thought we needed at first. We actually ordered both, but it turned out he could salvage the existing slave. This is all part of the fun learning curve.
If you already bought a new slave, I’d recommend putting it on. It takes about 10 minutes to install, and you can even do it yourself. You will be kicking yourself down the road if that salvaged unit craps the bed in the middle of nowhere.

in my experience if you do one, the other dies like right away. prolly my weird experience, but as stated, its easy to just do them both, be done with it.
