Subject:'85 1.9 clutch slave cylinder

Ok gang - if I blew out the clutch slave cylinder what are the chances that
anything else (clutch/master) is also damaged?

Sorry that may be a rather impossible question - but I asked anyway.

Still having issues with getting water in my gas tank (that's another
topic) and Friday I had to nurse poor Gertie home - well it required a lot
of "feathering" the clutch to keep her going and the cylinder must have had
enough. Clutch pedal has no resistance at all - resivoir was way way low -
and there is a lot of fluid under the slave cylinder.

Any tricks to be aware of when replacing that bad boy?
