Master clutch cylinder question?

so i had my fluid changed and it was thinner fluid, i requested it, and it sounds like metal on metal while shifting, mind you, i'm not an idiot, i used 75-80 instead of 75-90, so not too much of a difference but the old fluid probably had so much residue in it that it eased the shift and didn't make it sound like it was dieing, well the problem is that i think the clutch is wearing and that the master cylinder is worn out, it's not producing enough pressure to get the clutch to fully activate, so when i double clutch it's a perfect shift, when i don't it shifts like the transmission might break at any moment, also if i stress the car and transmission, like redline 3rd and get to about 95 on 4th and come to a stop and shift 1-2 it runs fine for like maybe 10-20 seconds, then it's back to the usual metal on metal shifts. Am i right about the clutch master and how much to get that replaced and is that part of the clutch? Would the slave have anything to do with it?
Master clutch cylinder question?
could be either the slalve cylinder or the master cylinder. the slave cylinder fails more often then the master cylinder but that does not mean it can't fail.
Master clutch cylinder question?
I would say your clutch master is bad. If you can replace the slave without pulling the transmission I would do it too. If you just replace the master you might be ok for a while but usually soon after the slave may start to leak. No mater what if you have to pull the trans to replace the slave I would have it changed the next time you have the clutch replaced
