Okay the shop says its the slave cylinder and that it was leaking. And that the pressure plate probably needs to be changed and that I might as well get a new clutch too. Jim you seem to be right on the dot...

Is it normal for a shop to order the slave cylinder before contacting you? I stopped by the shop and was told that they had already ordered the slave cylinder before I even knew I needed one and that it would be needed to test for further problems, like the potential pressure plate issue. They did tell me they'd call me once they had the part.

$180 for the cylinder, $200 for the labor for the slave cylinder alone. Does this sound reasonable? I had another car shop check the cost of the slave cylinder and it was only $90. I'm just kind of shocked after hearing Jim's $60 master cylinder cost and just imagined a 'master' cylinder costing more than a 'slave' cylinder.
