Transmission problem 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

My 04 cavalier lost all clutch fluid and I'm unsure if its the clutch master cylinder or the clutch slave cylinder, I cannot find a picture or location of either?

Hello,

It sounds like you have a slave cylinder leaking because they go out due to the transmission vibration.

Here are guides to help you see what you are in for when changing the unit out.
