Unless your tearing the car apart for some other repair; flushing the system is not worth the effort of getting access to the slave cylinder. Most people just extract the fuid from the reservoir using a syringe or turkey baster and replace that with clean fluid. Drive it for a day and then repeat the procedure until the fluid is clear again. It took me 4 times before it stayed clean and took ~6 oz of brake fluid.

Gentlemen, The correct fluid to use to replace the existing fluid is : G.M. Hydraulic Clutch Fluid. Part # 12345347. It is DOT #3 Fluid with Friction Modifiers. Minimizes friction and improves clutch feel. Try it you will like it !
