Sounds like a leak somewhere or air getting in. I had similar symptoms when both my master and slave went. Check underneath the carpet by the pedal to see if the master is leaking down. Also fluid likes to hide in the slave cylinder's boot. I've never had a problem rebuilding stock parts with new seals/etc however I have no experience with the slave/master as I just bought new parts. I'd go with stock rebuild kits for something like this and you can get the pair for 37+shipping from cherryhilltriplexparts.com. You might want to check your parts to see if there is any rust/major scratches in the cylinder walls which a rebuild won't fix.

Good luck. If you need some slave cylinder replacement tips I have a faq linked on stealth316.com.

I still have fluid in the master cylinder, so no fluid has leaked out that i'm aware of...unless the fluid isn't going where it needs to and just staying in the master?

 

Did you end up rebuilding the master and slave? I have done the slave rebuild myself and am curious how bad the master rebuild is.

 

I had both the master and slave replaced (it was definitely leaking), but I don't think it was quite that expensive to buy them. I got mine from rockauto.com, and their prices are excellent, usually (probably 90% of the time) cheaper than anywhere else (and sometimes ridiculously cheaper!).

The '93 TT that I used to have, I also had the brake master cylinder done at the same time. Might as well, since it's right there, and it wasn't expensive either.

 

master clutch is 70 something at Autozone. Slave I think is in the 20's. I'm curious to see how much difference it makes in your car when you change them. I replaced everything in my 91VR4 and the pedal is incredibly easy with vacuum assist removed. I can' believe that my new pressure plate would be that much weaker. My 93 is stock and feels like i'm stepping on a big Tennis ball. If it makes the pedal that much easier I'm changing out the 93

 

What do you mean when replacing everything?
what cluth,pressure p.,flywheel do you have ?

My cluth is hard as a rock ( 93 tt ), and wonder if i replace both on my car it would make the cluth a little softer, let me know how is goes when you replace the one in your 93.

 

I've never done a rebuild on those cylinders, i'd hate to do them and find out i missed somethig or i did it wrong, couln't find a guide to do it.

Just get them new/Reman a Rock Auto, i always buy from them, starts at about $45 for each of them.

 

The service manual shows you how to rebuild each item. So far I have done the slave cylinder and it is VERY simple to do, from looking at the master cylinder it's exactly the same... For about $20 you can rebuild both of them.
