The slave cylinder is mounted to the left-hand (driver's) side of the transmission.

Michael, you might also have a failure in the clutch hydraulic system. A visual inspection of the master and the slave cylinders should be performed and if fluid is present as leakage, it might indicate the need to replace one or both of the cylinders. Let me know what you find out, if needed, I can assist you in sourcing the correct parts.
