Hy Michael1964, have someone watch the throwout arm as you work the clutch pedal just to make sure you are getting full range of movement. Check the clutch master fluid level and top up as required, if the master was empty then a bleeding of the system will be required. I would lean more towards the master being the problem, but I can't tell you how many times in the past I replaced either the master or the slave cylinder only to have the other unit fail in short order, so if I was to do this job today, I would replace/rebuild both components in the system, hope that helps.
