Default sticking pedal, could it be the master?

I have a problem with my pedal sticking to the floor when i go wot, so i was thinking changeing everything.

My friend chnged everything on his car except the master and now he is having the same problem as me.....could it be its just the master that needs to be replaced.
Because my clutch is not slipping or anything, just sticks to the floor at wot.

Mine is doing the exact same thing. Only does is a WOT. I did the drill mod and it had no effect. I wish I had done a master swap while I had everything a part. It's something that I will be doing soon. Take it from me, save yourself the headache, you can do the drill mod, but since everything will be apart just replace the master.

Good luck! And let me know how things turn out.

Swap the fluid, flush it totally out, its the cheapest and least difficult job.
