The slave and master cylinders are separate units.
In {all} vehicles there is a master-slave set up for the brakes. Where your master cylinder is connected to your brake pedal. As you apply force to the brake pedal it forces fluid through your brake lines which results in either the pistons in your calipers (disk) or slave cylinder (drums) to apply the brakes against your rotor.
If you have a manual tranmission that is not driven by wires, you may have a similar setup for the clutch system.
The master cylinder is call that because it's where the fluid is coming from. The slave cylinders are where the fluid force is received.
They are two separate parts of an overall system.
The two pieces are not a sealed unit. They are connected by some sort of hydraulic line (ie brake line)
You don't have to replace both if one or the other is working. It's not a bad idea to, rubber does wear out, but it's not necessary.

The slave and draw close cylinders are separate instruments. you do not ought to interchange both if one or the different is operating. that is not any longer a nasty theory to, rubber does positioned on out, although that is not any longer needed. If merely the slave cylinder is leaking, all you want to do is replace the slave cylinder. you also opt to bleed the strains thoroughly because once you replace the slave cylinder you'll introduce air into the hydraulic strains. in case you do not comprehend the thanks to bleed a brake and or take carry of device, do no longer do it your self or you'll finally end up without brakes or an improperly operating take carry of. once you've different question, please be at liberty to e mail me by clicking on my call on the left.

generally speaking brake master and slave cyl
are separate units. but are you speaking of the clutch or the brakes. if you are talking clutch, it all depends on the transmission you have. some 95's have a puegeot trans and they are a little different to work on. I would suggest determining which trans you have and then talk to an expert. My reasoning is I had a 95 that had those exact issues.

No you do not but the age of them both should be about the same - i would replace both since you will have to flush out the system after the install - start out clean slate , less problems later down the line...
Good Luck

No you don't have to. The slave is the hardest to replace if I recall correctly it located inside the trans bell housing.

The slave cylinder is separate from the master cylinder, one operates the clutch and one the brakes.
