There's plenty of fluid in the slave cylinder and the slave cylinder was replaced maybe 50,000 miles ago could this be it?

There is an adjustment at the pedal for the master cylinder to help take up the slack in the clutch system. Loosen the jam-nut to adjust the threaded rod outward which will take up the slack. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
