No you don't have to drop the transmission in order to replace the slave cylinder, but be careful because it can easily be stripped.
Its becaue the slave cylinder is has a leak, and pressure is lost when you press on the brakes.
under the car ... near the clutch housing .... you cant miss it
2 reasons: 1. There is no fluid in your master cylinder due to a leaking master cylinder or slave cylinder or 2. You blew your clutch
it is located just below the passenger side front motor mount, when looking down at the motor.
You bleed the clutch at the slave cylinder located near the transmission close to the radiator up front.
Check your clutch slave cylinder fluid level it looks like a mini brake fluid bottle
It's bolted onto the bell housing of the transaxle- it would be hard to miss.
The slave cylinder is in the front of your engine, closer to the left side if the car, in between the radiator and your engine, you will see it cuz it has 2 books next to each other about 2 p inches apart and a rubber but on it, us about mid level in your car
The slave cylinder is underneath the rear crankcase cover left hand side.
The brake fluid for the entire system is added in the master cylinder container. The slave cylinder does not have its own reservoir.
Disconnect the negative cable from the battery,disconnect the hydraulic line from the slave cylinder.Using a hammer and a punch,drive out the roll pin from the cylinder.The roll pin is the little black thing just below the line
