clutch randomly losing pressure

hello i have an 87 fc and in the past few weeks the clutch has been randomly losing pressure then regaining it shortly after, there hasnt been any major loss of fluid either, i understand this is common in fc's and was wondering if i should rebuild or replace and i heard your can replace master slaves with heavier duty items such as landcruiser master slaves would this be a good idea.

There is nothing "heavier duty" about the Landcruiser parts, they're popular with the V-8 swap guys because they are a larger bore (required for the slave on a T-56) and the stud spacing clocks it properly on the firewall.

Just use stock replacement parts, they work fine.
