Default Need new master/slave?

I'm getting mixed ideas here. People say its the clutch, master or slave. I have no idea which it is and what to do. I haven't driven the TA for a while since when it gets cold, the clutch sticks to the ground. It has been in the single digits for the past few weeks and today it was about 40-50 so I decided to try it out. Sure enough it starts up and moves, but only to back it out and when I put it in gear it sticks to the floor. The fluid drains out somehow, I dunno if its leaking / where ever it goes its being stored there, and I can't tell since all the snow is melting. I was thinking about just getting a new clutch. Should I upgrade the master/slave cylinder? Both or just one? And where should I get it from? I hear people saying 01 and 02 slave or master, but I never really looked it up yet. So if anyone could point me in the right direction that'd be great. Thanks!

Well if the pedal sticks you have a hydraulic issue for sure.
You gonna need to start there. You can try & flush the fluid & bleed it out to see if it helps. also look for fluid seeping/leaking from the master or slave.
The stock clutches can cause issues but usually at high RPM shifts w/ the pedal sticking.
