Help! Clutch problems

Guess I'll give Pep Boys a shot tomorrow. Don't have Kragen here...

The places online that offer the slave itself are all the same part -- it's made by Omix-Ada. NO ONE has a good photo of one, though. Wish I could see it to make sure I was ordering the right part! This is my daily driver and I really don't want to be out too long (but don't want to get ripped off by the dealer either).

Really, I was just concerned about whether I should replace them both at the same time (thinking one worn part leading to another). I figured you'd be the first to reply. Was waiting for it. ;-) Thanks, Bill.

My wife found that photo online -- shows what I can see outside the housing. I was trying to figure out what was inside, though.

I went ahead and ordered the slave cylinder. Regardless of any other details, I'm going to need it. Besides, if the master is bad as well, there are a few local shops with them in stock. No one seemed to have the slave, though...

In theory, this should make my clutch "springy" (for lack of a more educated way to put it), is that correct? For the last few weeks it has been rather soft and since I installed the locker it has been catching a few gears here and there (not really grinding, just not as smooth as normal).

That helps! Questions now:

1. The release fork has a return spring. So if you press on the fork where the slave normally would (as you can with a finger), should it... spring back?

1. If it doesn't, what does that mean?

I can reach in there and push that in, and pull it back. No springy-ness (wow, great grammer) at all.
