1995 850 Wagon Clutch Slave Cylinder Replacement 850 1995

A local dealer is selling a really nice Volvo 850 wagon with a 5-speed manual transmission and 160K on the odometer. He is asking $695, since he claims that the slave cylinder needs replacement. The car seems to run well, but will need to be towed.

What concerns me is that with the slave cylinder INOP, I don't think I can check the condition of the clutch. So if I buy the car and change the slave cylinder, I may find that it will also need a clutch.

My questions are as follows:

1) How hard is it to change the slave cylinder? My guess is that it's not too difficult, but I could be wrong.

2) If it needs a clutch, is changing the clutch on this front wheel drive car any more (or less) difficult than changing one on a rear wheel drive Volvo?

Would appreciate any input and/or suggestions!

Thanks,

Alex
