I have a sinking feeling

Hi Dave;

My guess is your slave cylinder is failing. Did you adjust the master
cylinder rod to the specified length?

Patient is a 1987 Coupe GT 2.3 (NG). About a month ago, I had to replace the
clutch master cylinder due to a broken rod (the rod that conencts the MC to
the pedal). The clutch felt great afterwards, better than it ever did in the
past 3 years I owned the car. Well, over the weekend it developed some wierd
behavior. If I hold the clutch in for more than long enough to shift (lets
say for a long red light), it doesn't come back out all the way. If I don't
pull it back up with my foot, the clutch pedal and friction point gets
slightly lower with each shift to the point where the clutch won't
completely disengage and shifting becomes difficult. If I pull it back up,
it seems fine until it gets held in for a while again. As long as I don't
hold in the clutch, it seems fine. So? What up with this? Is my new MC
failing? Or the slave? Or BOTH? Or something totally different?

TIA,
