Do I need to clean out the vacuum booster as well and bleed the entire brake system too? >>(NO) Bryan the clutch shares the fluid in the reservoir and there's a clutch master cyl up under the dash that would probably share the cruddy stuff you bled out by the slave cyl. I would just bleed the clutch system for now but be prepared to replace the slave or just do it now if it looks old. The rebuild kit is almost as much as a new slave cyl BTW.
