The slave cylinder is in a unit which includes the throw out bearing. Therefore, it actually "wraps around" the transmission input shaft. This means that you have to remove the transmission to replace it. According to Haynes and Chilton manuals, this means partial disassembly of the front suspension, removal of the drive (half) shafts, and supporting the engine while you remove the transmission. The local garage is pricing this for me as I type (03-21-2008), since it's a bit much for my shade tree. It looks like it will be between $500 and $800, including parts.
