I was driving my 95 Gs-t noramlly and of all a sudden the clutch got stuck and stayed there until I reached down to pull it back out with my hand. I pulled over and was tested my clutch and it feels completely soft now. It doesnt grab easily no more, shakes a lot when starting off in first gear, its more difficult to throw it into first gear, I have to put more effort into shifitn gears probably because my clutch isnt opening up so good, and it shakes a lot starting off. I notice theres alot of clutch fluid leaked from inside the car where the pedels are. Autozone said I need to replace either the clutch slave or master clylinder. Can anyone help me with how to replace the clutch slave because just I bought the kit already and I do not know how to install it. Any help or advice would be great. Thanks
 
It sounds like your master cyl is bad, considering the fact that there's fluid *inside* the car. Either way, you should replace/rebuild both at the same time. Pull out the cyl to be replaced, check the inside bore. If its nice and smooth, just get a rebuild kit. If there's scratches/grooves, buy a new one. While you're at it, pick up the SS braided clutch line from Road/Race Engineering.

When you replace/rebuild the master cyl, don't bother removing the cotter pin and assembly off the pedal. Just unthread the rod from the pedal and thread the new one in. If you don't get what I mean, you'll understand once you start taking it all apart.
