lately my 2900 has been feeling like a 2100, and ocassionally after the car has been idling for awhile it will feel like 2900 again. The shifting quality has also gone down like the clutch isnt properly disenguaging. My end play is within spec so i dont want to hear the word please. Is this a sign of a master cylinder going? Also the fluid is dirty in the resivior.

I also have sufficent petal travel before the clutch disenguages so i dont think its ghost clutch.
 
check the condition and level of the fluid first, it may need to be flushed, because mine was pretty nasty. try and give it a good bleeding, use a vacuum bleeder, it makes it a lot easier. remove the clutch restrictor, theres a vfaq on it. you might also want to get an extended clutch rod from Taboo Speed Shop to get more pressure. your slave cylinder may be going also, but try the rest of that first and see if it works. hope that helps.
