Clutch won't disengage, then starts working
I had this problem a few months ago. After my car sat for a few days I get in to start it and the clutch won't disengage. The clutch pedal felt normal. I pumped it about 10 times and it was fine. I changed the slave cylinder after that and didn't have any more problems.
A couple months later, same thing. I let the car idle for a couple minutes and pumped the clutch pedal and it started working. The clutch will then work until I shut the car off and let it sit for awhile.
Should I just blindly change the master cylinder? The fluid is also pretty brown, wondering if it is clogging up the slave when it sits? I have an LT1 T56 with LT1 master/slave.

Sounds like you have a leak somewhere.
