Default Estimated time to change slave cyl.?

Alright how long do you guys think the average person would take to change a slave cyl.? It would be in a garage on a lift about 6ft in the air, drop the tranny, change the slave, put the tranny back up. How long and how hard is it to do this on average?

I figured this would be as good a place as any to ask this, I was wondering if there are any upgrade replacements for slave cylinders or is there only OEM replacement?

Ram, Rhino are two that I know of. Not sure if they're any better than OEM.

Yeah, on a lift, with a good impact and swivel extensions, about an hour to get it out, and an hour to get it back in.

Agreed. I had never dropped mine before and had it on the shop floor in 45 mins. Just as easy to get it back in.
