Default Slave Cylinder ?

I know my clutch is going (94 accord ex), and my car has been leaking clutch fluid. My mechanic showed me where it was leaking out of the slave cylinder i believe he called it, and said it needed to be replaced.

Now being car illiterate--how hard would it be to buy this part and put it in myself. Are there any good websites/guides to such endeavors. I know attempting to install the clutch myself is a bad idea, but my mechanic said it would cost about 800 dollars to put in a new clutch/slave cylinder. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

your car illiterate but your on drag? pay someone on here to do it cheaper. Most shops overcharge especially if they know you dont know what their talking about.

yea for real...a slave cylinder is simple to change and get. But if you dont feel competent enough , or have the knowledge to change your own clutch please find someone here on drag to do it, youll get a way better price from someone on here.

do it yourself...its like a 5 minute fix, but it helps if you have a flare nut wrench.
