Remove the 2 bolts on the transmission bell housing on the passenger side of the car. Move capacitor and grounding wire out of the way. DIsconnect hydraulic line. Installation is reverse of removal.

It's actually that simple. Only thing to add is that you have to bleed the clutch line once replaced. Also, if there has been work done on the car (clutch job, rebuilt slave cyclinder, etc) in the past, the capacitor and ground wire might already be relocated to a less serviced area.

on my car its the drivers side..you need to get an elbow joint socket and an extension..remove the 2 bolts and pullout the old slave..then replace it with new slave..funny thing is i just replaced my slave with a new one..im an idiot and with my new slave..they did not include the actual shaft..so i kept bleeding and juice kept hitting the floor..after doing this a few times i realized that the leak was from not taking my old shaft and putting it on the new slave. so basically without the shaft the new slave was extending(without the shaft) and over-extending the piston..therefore leaking fluid..once you put the shaft in, the piston does not over-extend..and no more leaking.....maybe that is your problem? i pretty much felt like a dumbass when i realized what happened..but i just assumed that when i bought the slave cylinder..it would come with ALL parts needed..i was wrong and learned a valuable lesson that i am now sharing with you.

the only other very important part is to make sure that you dont disconnect a relay that is right there..it will make your check engine light come on..youll probly bump it and it will come disconnected..cuz its kinda in the way. good luck
