Well, at least its not too expensive of a part. The labor will probably be the killer, I guess. I'd do it myself, but I live in an apartment, and I dont have any access to a lift, or the proper tools at the time. Time to go to the stealership.... 
If I get a new slave, should I do the drill mod to it anyway? Also, anybody know where I can get a write up on how to do the drill mod? Thanks again, guys. I appreciate everyones help.

Repeat till you do not hear any bubbles. Done no going under the car. I Have a factory service bulletin on the upgrade bleeding procedure ill try to dig it out and post it.
Don't replace the slave cylinder just yet. First, fill up the master cylinder with fluid, then bleed through the bleeder valve on the slave, then add fluid, then bleed through the slave, then add fluid, etc. Once you've done this about 6 times, make sure the bleeder valve is closed tightly (don't over-torque!) and use the mityvac on the hole at the bottom of the master cylinder reservoir with one of those conical tips that comes with the mityvac. Pump out the air bubbles through there until you get very few coming up through the line. Drive your car around to see how the clutch feels and check if you have the same symptoms you were having before. If not, then you're done and maybe the culprit of this problem was that your bleeder valve was not closed completely. If your problem continues, then move onto replacing parts.
