Question on Clutch Master and Slave Cylinder Replacement

Are these symptom of a bad clutch cylinder?
1. Difficulty to engage and disengage into gear which results to screeching noise of gears.
2. Engine off, gears go in as nothing is wrong.
3. Clutch pedal needs to be depressed completely to the floor in order to gain a slight entry to engage or disengage a gear.

Which of the two , slave or master, is the culprit and how can it be identified one or both are bad? Vehicle is an R50.

Thank you for any insight provided and God bless.

It does sound like bad hydraulics. Check the fluid level. Then check if there are signs of fluid leaking at the master or slave cylinders.
