I'm obviously guessing here, but the intermittent poor clutch symptoms
may be due to seals in either the master or slave wearing out.

IIRC, I've had a brake MC behave in a similar way. And though I've
never cracked either of these open, they are likely similar in design.

Best of luck with your R&R.
