Replacing slave cylinder in a 98 Chevy

[Pfrimweiser]

I am planning on replacing my clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder due to my clutch going soft and having to add fluid every other day. I have spend hours searching the internet and reading my repair manual trying to locate my slave cylinder. I am assuming it is in the transmission. My question is if this is correct and if I need to drop the entire transmission to fix it or if I can just take part of it off. My pickup is a 1998 Chevy Cheyenne. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

On the 96-98 Cheyenne the slave cylinder is part of the clutch release bearing, so you have to drop the transmission.

I have done it before. Not a one hour job like I thought it was going to be.

Looks like I know what I am going to be doing next week. Got 2 days off of work, hope this will be enough time to finish it.

No problem! I had my auto trans out along with all associated parts and the manual trans and all associated parts back in over the course of one day.
