problems with slave cylinder with spec sg 3+ clutch

well as some of u know i was having an issue with my motor and it turned out to be a defect in the head so mazda warranted it and put a new motor in my car along with a spec stage 3 + clutch i had them put in for me at the same time for no extra charge on the install. the problem im having now is that its been a month an a half (give or take) since having the car back. and im already about to go on the 4th clutch slave cylinder. the last 3 were installed by the dealer (one being the original one the car came with). they keep blowing the seal and leaking out fluid and peddel goes to the floor and its done for. the 3rd one just gave out last night. so now im at a stand still couse i cant keep taking it to the dealer for warranty couse this would make it the 4th slave in less than 2 months. they are going to blame it on the clutch even though they installed it for me.

if anyone has any ideas of what could be cousing this please chime in. thanks.
 
How much stiffer is this new clutch compared to the stock one?

If it is ridiculious stiff then I would guess that the pressure required to put the clutch in is exceeding the slave cylinders capacity; and after enough actuations, the seals give out.

I realize that this probably a lame reply, but it is all I can think of....the slave cylinder on these cars is pretty simple and direct.

Kinda curious as to how this turns out.....
 
Well, if the clutch is as easy to engage as a stock one, the only other thing I can think of is improper clutch fluid being used and eating the seals.
Just exactly what fluid does Mazda use for the clutch hydraulic system?

It's been a while since I read the manual so I don't recall what, or if it was even mentioned.

BMW uses brake fluid (hell, the clutch system uses the brake fluid reservior for supply).
Come to think of it, I have never noticed the clutch reservior in my Speed while under the hood.....anybody got any ideas?
