Aloha Scotty, my wife has 2011 nissan altima 3.5sr that needs the slave cylinder changed. Can you please let me know where this is located so I can be just like you....rev up her engine!!! Much appreciation
Looking at photos of the part it appears to be an internal slave cylinder mounted concentric with the transmission input shaft, so it is located inside the clutch housing. You should be able to follow the hydraulic line to it.
Much appreciation, is this mounted to the side of the transmission or do I need to drop the tyranny please?

I'm not familiar with your car but in the vast majority of cases by definition you need to separate the engine and transmission to access an internal slave cylinder. (The only exception I know of would be some very old Saab models where the entire clutch assembly can be serviced with everything left in place.)
It's a pretty big job so really you should plan to install a complete clutch kit while in there and check for any leakage from the engine rear main seal so that can addressed if needed, while you have the transmission separated. It's not something you'll want to do twice.
There are considerable differences between different models so you should consult a shop manual or find the exact procedure online for your vehicle before attempting the job.
Very much appreciated my friend and all the best as I do thank you!
