Default slave leaking, is that the problem

i have done the search, and i have read the sticky, just looking for some opinions from people that have had the problems...

car drives normal just driving around town, when i get on it, it is very hard to get into 3rd and then the clutch sticks on the floor going to 4th and its a no go!!!!

bled the system, did the drill mod, still no better!!!

had some heads and cam work done to the car and the guy told me that the slave was leaking. cant be to bad cause i have never seen anything drip from under the car, and it sits in the garage 3-4 days in between driving it. so im asking even if the slave is leaking a tiny bit, is that the problem?

just wanting to get some info before i pull the tranny and replace the part!!!

oh and btw when i have the master out doing the drill mod, it seems okay, when i bench bled it, it did blow and a ton of crappy, nasty black particals? is the inside of the master shredding? it didnt leak any air anywhere but who knows?

thanks in advance

We had the same problem with 3rd gear and the clutch pedal sticking near the floor. Replaced the slave cylinder, all is well now.
