Default Is it the master cylinder?

Symptoms:
Soft clutch, missed shifts at high RPMs (embarrassing), rough shifting. The one different symptom I'm seeing is that the friction point is when the pedal is further out (less than 1'' from all the way out). Most people say that theirs is when the pedal is barely away from the floor.

Ideas? Also thinking about going with the tick. Anything compare for cheaper?

Why not try the man. Trans section?

But yes it sounds like upgrading your master will help, but what's clutch set up?
