The slave cylinder is usually replaced during a clutch replacement. The slave unit is fairly inexpensive but the labor can be costly since most vehicles require the transmission to be removed to replace the slave. Since the transmission has to be removed to replace the clutch anyway, there is no extra labor involved to replace the slave.
At least the slave cylinder. The clutch master cylinder can be replaced at any time.

To change the Astra clutch slave cylinder, first, ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported. Begin by draining the hydraulic fluid from the clutch system and disconnecting the hydraulic line from the slave cylinder. Remove any mounting bolts securing the slave cylinder to the transmission, then take out the old cylinder. Install the new slave cylinder, reconnect the hydraulic line, and refill the clutch fluid, ensuring to bleed the system to remove any air before testing the clutch operation.
You will need to remove the transmission to replace the clutch slave.
There is NO adjustment, You must replace the clutch set to bring the pedal back to the right position. You also need to make sure the clutch slave cylinder/ master cylinder is good before replacing clutch assy.
The clutch parts that wear out would be the clutch master cylinder and the clutch slave cylinder. Replacing the clutch master cylinder requires disconnecting the hydraulic line, unbolting and removing the master from the vehicle, bench bleeding the new master, install the new master then bleeding the system. Replacing the clutch slave cylinder requires removing the transmission assembly. I would recommend purchasing a shop repair manual for that vehicle if you want to DIY.

To change the clutch slave cylinder on a 1992 Jeep Cherokee Laredo with a straight 6 and 5-speed transmission, first, safely lift and support the vehicle. Remove the transmission access cover and disconnect the clutch line from the slave cylinder, followed by unbolting the slave cylinder from the transmission bell housing. Install the new slave cylinder, reconnect the clutch line, and bleed the system to remove any air. Finally, reassemble the access cover and check for proper clutch operation.
On my 1998, the slave cylinder is located inside the bell housing - a very stupid place for it IMO. If you are replacing the slave cylinder, it might be a good time to replace the clutch too.
