Default clutch trouble

I just bought a 92 civic DX and the clutch is slipping so I want to adjust the clutch however I can't find the clutch cable under the hood. Can anyone help me with its location?

if like my '88, it is to the right of the battery tray.
have to take the battery out, or be down on the ground and look up at access it.
and if like mine, should jack up the front wheels so that they are off the ground.

<edit>
this is the location of the clutch cable adjusting ****

fglaustin: Thanks.
If that was a picture you included it didn't show up. I think now that mine may be hydraulic.

yours is a hydraulic transmission so you don't have a cable to adjust your clutch. did you check the fluid level? could also be that it is time for a new clutch

The fluid was low so I added some. The parts guy "guaranteed" me that it was the slave cylinder so I put a new one on...same slipping and shuddering.
About how much does it cost to have a new clutch installed?

did you try bleeding your clutch line when you added fluid? you might also have air in the line. it will cost about $250-$350 to install new clutch. it's better if you do it yourself

if it slips it is NOT a low fluid issue ...low or no fluiod would make it hard to get in to gear,, if clutch slips , it is time to replace the clutch or the clutch master cylinder rod is adjusted too long ( not likely )
