I'm not sure that the baked (black) fluid can be blamed on the master...that usually happens when the hydraulic line gets too close to the exhaust without being protected from the radiant heat. When you replaced the master, you already had new fluid in it, and that may have been what fixed it...then again, it could have been the master. Who knows...the cheaper way to see if you can fix a suspected master would be to completely flush the system and insulate the hydraulic line completely. If that doesn't work, then go after the master cylinder...if that doesn't do it, it is most likely the slave, which unfortunately is the hardest piece of this puzzle to get to.

I'm having the same problem with my Firehawk. It shifts fine under part throttle or just cruising, but under full throttle the clutch won't come all the way up. Won't even let me shift or anything. I'm not too good with these things, so I don't know what it can be. My Dad thinks it's either the slave cylinder or master cylinder. Anyone have the same experiences?
