97 s-10 hydro clutch problem

my bro has a 97 s-10 with the 4.3 and it keeps losing fluid i looked at the clutch master and its dry i cant fidn the slave cylinder is it hidden or something i know the hydrolic clutches have the slave cylinder that has th eball on the end to push the clutch fork but i cant see any openings on the trans for the fork. is this set up totally different? i worked at a garage for 5 years and this has boggled my mind not seeing it. any help will do thanks

so no one ever had clutch problems ?

IT SHOULD BE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE TRANMISSON YOU SHOULD SEE A HYD LINE GOING TO IT SHOULD BE HELD ON WITH 2-3 BOLTS TAKES ABOUT 20 MIN TO FIX

my friend had a 97 same motor and tranny...the slave cylinder is located in the tranny housing

so if its mounted in the trans housing does the trans have to come out to do it?

yes

so u gotta pull the trans then take th ebell housing off and its mounted in there man thats so stupid how longs it u=sually take to do this?

The bell housing is built onto the trans, but yeah you have to take it all out and the slave Cy. is mounted around the trans input shaft. Shouldn't take more than a day to take it out and put it back in.

thats gonan suck for me im the one doing this and hes losing fluid im pretty sure its commin from there his truck doesnt go into gear and he has to double pump the clutch sometimes and it grinds goin into gears so if there is no other leaks and its mounted inside well thats what im gonan do thanks

You DO NOT have to take the tranny out to pull the slave cylinder!!! It's on the driver side of the tranny. I believe it has 2 bolts holding it in. Be careful when you pull it out. The shaft that pushes to shift will fall out. I hope you see this before dropping the tranny!!!
