Default How do you know when the master is bad?

My clutch peddle engages right off the floor. So I have to push it all the way to the floor to shift. I hate that.
The fluid was also dirty after last season. So I bled it with a mity-vac until it was all clean. It was also a little low on fluid.

At the track when really putting it under pressure, I have a hard time getting it into 4th gear. I"ve had to double clutch it. Which kills the run.
I don't know if I'm not getting it all the way to the floor or if it's not keeping up with my foot.

But I think the problem is the master or slave cylinder.

Any advice would be great.

Well it doesnt do that but under hard acceleration at almost 7K it is hard to slam the next gear. It's like it needs stronger pressure.
I did the drill mod to the master. It did not help any.

Any suggestion.
