Default Slave or Master cylinder?

I've had different opinions on what is wrong with my car. The sypmtoms are when i am giving the car half to full throttle it is hard to get into gear and grinds, unless i shift it really slow. Under normal driving conditions if i try to shift it into gear quickly it will grind but go into gear. Anyone had this problem before?

Stock clutch?
Done the drill mod? How does the fluid look? Loosing any fluid?
It depends on what year & what has been done. But one things for sure your tearing the trans up driving it w/ shitty hydraulic's.

does the pedal ever stick to the floor? Like after hard throttle or holding it in?
It might need to be bled, or is not fully able to disengage.

That is a good place to start, bleed & flush your fluid it usually helps. If not you may need to replace them both master & slave.
I am a fan of adjustable masters, I like being able to tailor the pedal.

Save up a lil cash and listen to this guy ^^^^ - I did a full clutch/flywheel/master/slave with the drill mod and the clutch/shifter operation feels perfect now... now if i could only get rid of this pinging...
