Default Slave cylinder location PLEASE ADVISE

Can anyone help me with this? Can someone help me and tell me where the clutch slave cylinder is located on a 2000 Camaro M6 Z28? Am I right in thinking I will need to drop the transmission to get to it?

So in order to replace it I need to drop the transmission? Im having problems with feeling pressure on my clutch and I have already replaced the master cylinder.

Buy a little bottle of brake fluid and spend a good half hour SLOWLY AND CONSISTENTLY bleeding the clutch. If you just keep stomping on the clutch pedal that's not going to cut it.

Yea I have been using a mini vac and sucking air out of the reservoir for the clutch master cylinder....was getting a ton of bubbles at first. I would say I bled the clutch for about 10-15 minutes, you think I need to bleed some more.

This is the correct procedure correct: use mini vac and pump to 8lbs while inserted into the reservoir, then pump on the clutch until mini vac reaches zero and then remove and then wait to see bubbles....then repeat correct?

I've never used a mini vac. The way I've done it is you need two people (one of you have one of those speedbleeder lines), and you slowly pump the clutch a couple times. Hold the clutch down, unscrew the slave cylinder valve and wait for the pressure in the clutch to drop. Then tighten the slave cylinder valve and release the clutch. Repeat this step (taking time to check/fill the brake fluid reservoir every few times) until you stop seeing bubbles coming out of the slave cylinder. The more time you spend doing it, the better off you are.

Where is the slave cylinder valve that you speak of? Is this the valve that is on top of the transmission?
