Should i change the master first? Any way of checking each part without buying new ones?

Ok i have removed the slave cylinder and it was really dry behind so i guess there is something wrong with it. No fluid loss and no fluid running down the clutch pedal so guess the master is ok? I will order a new slave cylinder and try that cheers peps

Ok so i have changed the slave cylinder, the old one had no dust seal and was full of crud! Attempted to bleed the clutch and after ten plus attemps and still no pressure at all i tried to bleed it backwards with a pump oil can and the oil kept leaking from the bleed nipple threads even when almost tight?? Any ideas anyone??

Also what is the electrical plug for that connects to the master cylinder??
the electrical plug is for the clutch switch, it tells the ecu when the clutch is in use for the anti stall
