I thought the legend was the other way round. If you replace the clutch
slave the master will often soon fail. I have seen a lot more leaking
slaves than masters so I would think the slave has a shorter life. It
lives in a harsher environment with much broader temperature swings. The
master leads a cozy life by comparison.
