'95 Prizm clutch problems

[paxman356]

Hey all. I bought a 95 Prizm a few months back. Recently the clutch has been acting up. It feels like one of the cylinders (master or slave) needs replaced, because it keeps slipping into gear even when you have the pedal to the floor. I have priced parts, looked for repair manuals, and am even thinking of having it done for me.

My questions are:

1. How hard is it? My dad has the tools I would need, and I can turn a wrench. How hard is it to either replace or rebuild (w/ kit) the slave and master cylinders?
2. Replace or rebuild? Which should I do?
3. Or, should I just leave this to the pros?

I would like to do this as cheaply as possible.

slave is easy master is a little tricky as you need to pull the brake booster out about an inch to get it out.

just check if the rod going into the master under the dash is wet with fluid its probably in need of a rebuild. for the slave squeeze the boot if significant fluid comes out it needs rebuilt

Well, for about $30 more, I decided to go for replacements. It wasn't too bad. The slave actually was easier to replace, since it was accessable from under the hood. The Master was hard to remove because the nuts were in impossible places, and the brake booster was in the way. Other than that, it was a breeze. Thanks for your response.
