It's not just VW aftermarket stuff from the far east the stink . . . I bought a clutch master cylinder from my S10 today.  The only one I found in town was at AutoZone . . . about $45 and had a lifetime warranty.  The old one had an adjustable rod . . . the new one was a fixed length.  I guess it will work . . . we'll see.  I bolted it on and tried to hook the rod up and the loop in the end of the rod wouldn't fit on its pin.  I took it back off and looked at it . . . the hole was full of slag and burrs.  I put in on the drill press and reamed it out, bolted it back on the loop slid over the pin just fine.  Then I tried to hook up the line from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder . . .  3 hours later, I took it back off again and deburred the threads and tried it again.  Finally got it all hooked up and started cleaning up.  When I picked up the bag the plastic bag it came in I noticed the label said "Made in Tiawan."  What really ticks me off is that these "cheap" parts from the orient aren't even cheap anymore . . . and you can't hardly find GOOD parts!  I'd much rather buy "American Made" parts, but we don't make anything here anymore!  :evil:
