The slave cylinder is the protion of the hydraulic system that is responsible for pushing against the throw out bearing so that gears can be engadged and disengadged. You need to look at the side of the transmission and see if there is a component on the side. If there is, then this is the component you need to replace. If you need step by step, email me at [email protected]

The clutch slave cylinder what hydraulicly releases the clutch. It works on the same principal as a brake wheel cylinder. To replace it you unbolt it and bolt on a new one, then bleed it like you do brakes.

92 Geo storm do I have to pull the tranny to replace the slave cylinder
Not normally. The clutch slave cylinder is externally mounted. Get one or the tyre chains to change it.

Clutch master and slave cylinder
Reservoir drained=got leak. Should be evident on one or other. Sometimes leaking at firewall hard to detect. Replace both, if one wore out the other won't be far behind. My 88 toyota pickup leaked there but replacement master cylinder rod was too long so had to use homemade spacer on firewall in engine compartment. Slave cylinder was a pain to get mounted.

Clutch master and slave cylinders
Always replace both the master and the slave cylinders at the same time, the reason you did not find evidence of a fluid leak may be due to the possibility that only the slave cylinder is leaking.

Hydraulic leaking
Do you have a hydraulic operated clutch? The slave cylinder for a hydraulic clutch would be on or sometimes inside the bell housing. Some ford and chevy trucks put the slave cylinder in a very difficult to reach place-the transmission has to be removed to service the slave cylinder. Most cars have the slave cylinder mounted on the outside of the bell housing. If they leak, replace or rebuild, although those internal slave cylinders I think can only be replaced.

Where is the 1999 Saturn SL2 slave cylinder located?
on a manual transmission the Clutch Slave Cylinder is located on the drivers side front of the transmission. You can locate it by first finding the clutch master cylinder on the drivers side of the firewall. Then fallow the plastic line to the front of the transmission.

To remove the slave you will first twist it then pull it out of the transmission.

The clutch slave and mater cylinder are replaced as an assembly.

No, you don't need to replace the clutch itself.
Don't be surprised if the slave cylinder replacement doesn't fix it.
Could be the master cylinder.

Slave cylinder leaks
Remove the bolts holding the slave cylinder to the transmission. Disconnect the hydraulic hose. Reconnect hydraulic hose to new slave cylinder, and install the slave cylinder in it's original position.

Now proceed to bleed the line through the slave cylinder until a solid stream of fluid comes through, and the pedal pressure becomes firm.

It is not usually necessary to replace the slave cylinder. Remove the cylinder and wash in metho. Exmine it for rust, pitting or grooving. If ok scuff the glaze from the cylinder walls with 320 grit w&d paper and more metho. Wash well with metho dry and fit a new kit of rubbers. Lubricate these with brake fluid ot rubber grease as you assembe. Refit the slave cylinder and bleed out the air. Job done.
