how about just a simple bleed and/or replace the fluid.  It there's air or
water in there, it would be more compressable and maybe no disengage the
clutch far enough.  How do the brakes feel?

Hi All,

I just wanted to get a few second opinions.  Situation:  (88 GL (her van))
when I push the clutch in it doesn't disengage all the way.  It has slowly
been getting worse.  I can get it to disengage if I really push the pedal
down but digi-wife can't seem to get it to disengage.  I suspect that the
slave cylinder is going bad.

Are there any votes of confidences or other possibilities that I am missing?

Thanks in Advance.
