You sure? My car has an intermittant clutch to the floor problem that I've diagnosed as the slave cylinder. Thing is though that the slave and master cylinders were replaced less than 30,000 miles ago. I just can't imagine that they would wear out that fast, my guess was that the slave was defective. Still best to replace both? 30,000 miles on a master cylinder just makes it seem like a waste to replace it.
