My slave cylinder has a leak- so I need a new one, but almost every company that was (Relatively) quality has stopped making them for the Getrag. Any suggestions on which one is best? Any opinions on the Fiero Store Slave cylinder?

It's a shame that Dickman is no longer able to have clutch slaves produced, but the double seal is absolutely mandatory. If I was in your position, I'd buy This rebuild kit.
Either rebuild your old slave with this kit, or buy a new crap slave with a single seal and use this kit.

My Getrag 5 speed slave cylinder was 'toast' so Rodney's 'kit' wasn't the answer.
If your bore is 'good' without any scoring or corrosion, perhaps Rodney's 'kit' is the ticket. Either check to see if your slave can be saved or purchase a new cylinder.
TFS is more money; I bought Dorman CS37794 at $60 delivered plus Rodney's dual seal piston separately as well as the 'kit' for the future.

How long does it take to rebuild the slav-e with the Rodney kit? How difficult is it? I have a Ten-lb sledge if that will help.....

Difficult? Hardly. There's one C-clip to remove, and then the guts spill out. As long as the bore isn't pitted and/or scored... just wash it out and reassemble. Maybe use some very fine emery cloth on the bore to remove any minuscule rough edges, and lubricate all parts with brake fluid prior to reassembly.[This message has been edited by Patrick (edited 09-11-2023).]

Get the slave cylinder on the bench; remove the snap ring and clean the bore.....
If the bore is good; install the kit (five minutes)
Then install the unit in the vehicle and bleed the system
Test the Clutch.....
Edit: IF you have any doubt on the slave cylinder bore; purchase a new cylinder and to me, never use abrasives in the bore.....[This message has been edited by Vintage-Nut (edited 09-12-2023).]

My advice to cvxjet was if the cylinder walls are pitted, don't even attempt it and purchase a new cylinder.
Maybe you'll 'bore it' but to me, I bet it's most likely not going to be cost-effective........
