No release- preventing shifting.
Slipping
Clutch chatters or shudders
Noise
The vehicle will not move.

high clutch pedal effort.
pedal stays on the floor.

most common symptoms for the master cylinder.
the others listed above can be either the master cylinder but most of the time it is the clutch itself.

Ok, i didn't want to bias the opinions i was getting.

I'm getting a real grainy feel from the pedal after a couple of minutes of driving. It goes from smooth to grainy feeling as I'm pushing the pedal in/out within about 30 min.

Maybe I should have just asked what causes that feeling.

look underneath the dahs where the clutch master cylinder is and see if you see any leaks by the boot. If it leaks, it's failing.
