So, I have a new master cylinder and slave cylinder on the way. The car is 34 years old, and the master is original. I noticed the fluid was grayish and its not got that many miles on it. So I am assuming these components are worn, and Im not getting the hydraulic pressure I should. They are cheap enough that Im happy to replace them to know they are good. If that doesn't do it, I will be pulling the tranny back out. Thanks for the reply, appreciate all possibilities of what could cause it.
