Yep. it's the slave cylinder. Question is, is what gave to make come loose?
Do you see fluid leaking off of it?

The new slave should have a plastic strap holding the compressed. Leave that on.
What I did was filled the slave with fluid then put it on the trans. Then filled the master with the line in a cup or cut off bottle. Keep the master full and when you have steady fluid coming from the line hook it to the slave. It attaches with a pin.
Then use a big adjustable wrench to grab the end of the clutch fork and push it toward the slave to compress it and take the ends of the strap out of the slots.
Compress the slave several times slowly. You want the cap on the master when doing this otherwise you will have fluid running down on everything!
After working the slave check the fluid level. Add if needed.
Now check to see how much pedal you have.
You might have to do the several times before you get it to work.
If I am missing anything someone else will point it out.
I've only done one of these so I;m still new at it.
