Has anyone had any success getting to the slave cylinder ? I need to remove it to try and grease it up to see if that resolves a squeak I have.

I tried getting to it with the back of the car on jack stands in my driveway but it's at the upper part of the transmission and seemed very difficult to get to so I stopped.

I'm thinking about trying a nearby DIY garage so I can get the car up on a lift (there is a place about an hour from me that you can rent lift time). That seems like it would be easier to get to the slave cylinder, and I can do a few other things at the same time (i.e. coil pack repair/replace, oil change).

Anyone have any success with this particular part? I don't want to rent the lift time if it's just as difficult to get to that way.
