Default Random Clutch Engagement

my slave and master cylinders are no more than 2 years old. My clutch pedal has been so random for a couple of weeks now, it engages at the floor then next time it will engage half way up, basically normal spot. it never engages any higher than normal always lower. when i slam gears or shift fast...the clutch pedal barely comes up, sometimes it feels like it doesnt come up at all, BUT THE CLUTCH ENGAGES AND NEVER SLIPS. the pedal will come up slowly or it might stay low and enage off the floor a couple of times then go back up to normal. WTF is causing this.

check fluid...
if it was changed recently, make sure they are bled correctly...

could be the master or slave, parts fail when they want

it wasnt changed recently, my compressor is over my bleeder screw, is that close enough to boil the clutch fluid, how close does it have to be before it does this, is there any fluod that resists boiling. im gonna do a clutch line flush considerings just about black now and bleed it and see what i get. not worried it its the clutch as i have a new clutch waiting to go in when i install my new setup.

i just did a full fluid replacement and bleeding, we will see how this does, but while i was bleeding and pumping i could hear air slurping out of the master cylinder reservoir? i didnt think it was supposed to do that or i have never noticed. might be a bad seal, i did get it to quit by removing and reinstalling....but it would start again after i removed it again than i had to repeat till it sealed and also, i couldnt ever get pressure to build up in the pedal after 4 tries, and i noticed that sound from the cap, and i pushed down on it and immediatly started building pressure. wtf. can i just buy a reservoir from advance, or am im about to get butt raped by honda, all though i do have a wholesale account. i called its 16$ before discounts, ill prolly try it for the hell of it.
