Well it's probably because the replacement parts are
junk,  unlike Vanagons.

I replaced the slave, and the master went out.

The master was new. My replacement this time was used,
from an '89, with a nice bright metal housing.
The old "new" one lasted two years and had the VW
logos ground off and was smaller.
