if it is on the inside of the car that is the clutch master cylinder. the slave cylinder is in the bell housing of the transmission.

 

Hmm, those prices seem a little high, but that's just off the top of my head. Replacing the clutch master cylinder looks pretty straightforward to me - I've never done it, but I imagine the hardest part is keeping fluid from running all over the carpet.

Be thankful that it's your master cylinder that's failing, rather than the slave cylinder. The slave cylinder can only be accessed with the tranny removed, so that would be a costly repair.

There won't be much for the shop to check out. They'll install a new master cylinder and bleed the clutch. It's possible that they'll do a crappy job with the clutch bleeding, so be sure to check the clutch's operation when you pick up the car. If it's difficult to select gears, or if you get some grinding or clunky shifts, it's possible that the clutch needs to be re-bled. If that happens, take the car back to the shop and tell them to fix it. Don't just "put up" with crappy shifting - it won't get any better with time.

Aside from that, you should be fine.
