[DeTomaso] Master Clutch Cylinder

My third MCC is beginning to fail.  The first, that came with the car was
shot so I replaced it with one from Hall.  It proved to be faulty, the
internals rapidly disintegrating and turning the reservoir
into a dark grey pool of suspended particulates of rubber.  So, I got one
from Pantera Peformance, flushed the lines...installed it...and got 10k
miles out of it.  
 
Now it too is failing...no pressure in the clutch every 10th shift or so
..comes right back though with no more than one pump of the
pedal....reservoir once again a dark grey and full of suspended
particulates.
 
Not how I envisioned double clutching my way through life.
 
So I'm asking for recommendations on my course of action.  Buy a
replacement?  Rebuild the one I have as a spare?  Rebuild and re-use what's
on there?  Where's the best place to get a "new" one?
Are rebuilt MCC's generally good?
 
Is this all luck of the draw? ....as this now seems to be the Achilles heel
of an otherwise great running car...this will be the 4th MCC on it in under
2 yrs.  
 
Thoughts and opinions are welcome as I need to address this right
away....down time sucks.
 
Thank you in advance.
