Hi,
When you were at 6,000 RPMs, was it because it was slipping? A clutch, when failing, is most noticeable in higher gears because there is more of a load on them.
As far as the slave, it may be the issue. Have you checked for any evidence of leaks on the bottom of the transmission where the bell housing meets the engine block?
As far as the slave, yes, the transmission needs to be removed to replace it. At that point, I would simply replace the clutch, and pressure plate, and resurface the flywheel.
If you look below, I provided the directions related to the slave cylinder replacement. If I had to guess, I would think it is a more likely suspect than the clutch master cylinder simply because of what you experienced.
Take a look through the directions and let me know if you have other questions.
Take care,
Joe
