Default Replacing clutch cylinders

On a 1995 850 GLT, with 198K miles. Recently, the clutch pedal would stick when depressed and not come back up. The clutch itself would remain disengaged, allowing to **** gears, but not re-engage. The problem was fixed before by just pulling the pedal back. Now, it's down, and won't come back up at all. So, seeing that the clutch is still disengaged, I'm led to believe its the clutch cylinders. I picked up both the master and the slave from the dealer, opened up my Haynes book... and can't find the parts on the car.

Really, I'm having trouble finding where the master and slave cylinder are at on my car to replace (all my work before has been on automatic cars, btw). In the book, it seems like they are directly left of the fluid reservoir, on the firewall, but there's nothing on my car that matches the photos shown in the book.

Below is a picture I took of where I thought it would be



Any advice would be appreciated.

The fluid for the system is taken from the brake fluid tank. There is a hose at the side of the tank. Then it goes to the clutch master which should be to the right side of the brake master. That is standing in front of the car.

Then the slave cylinder is in the transmission you should be able to see the line going into it.

Thanks tech (nice Mustang!)

I followed the line from the reservoir.. and it's almost right on the driver's side fender, under that big pile of computer junk. This is going to be tougher than I thought!

Yes it is kind of a pain. We don't see many 5-speed cars.
