Default 05 Clutch slave cylinder replacement?

Does anyone know how hard it is to replace the slave on an 05? My clutch is sticking halfway when hot and my year doesn't fall under the recall =( I was thinking of just changing the fluid but if the slave cylinder is cheap I might as well replace that all at once. Has anyone done this? About how much is the slave at dealer? Thx in advance

I actually had the same type of issue where on very hot days or in stop and go traffic, my clutch would start to stick. I changed the fluid to a higher temp type, and swaped the stock rubber clutch line to a SS one. No problems since.

I have an 03 and in hot weather my clutch makes a squeaking noise when it is low to the ground maybe an inch an a half from the floor, is that the slave cylinder? I dont really feel as though it is sticking. I'll have to give a better diagnose later

My roommate has an 05 Grand Touring and had this issue. When he replaced his slave cylinder it stopped it.
