Will bad slave or master cylinder make a slipping clutch

Ok i have a basically new 5000 mile clutchmasters stage 2 clutch that was properly broke in and is now slipping bad in every gear it all the sudden started slipping today like it came out of nowhere so im wondering if its not really my clutch and could be a bad slave cylinder or master cylinder being that they are still original

The hydralic action of the clutch is to compress the fingers the pressure plate. This will cause the clutch to release. No presure. No release.

You could have a problem like this. Does it chater at all when you start rolling? Possilby you used to much grease on the pilot bearing. Or you didn't use a pilot bearing seal. To much grease on the input shaft.

Maybe the rear oil seal is leaking. Or the oil seal on the tranny is leaking.

My guess would be some lube is getting on the clutch disk.

One last question. Is the master or slave leaking? If it is the leaking fluid could work its way to the the clutch disk.

im not sure the actual definition of clutch chatter but sometimes when i shift then step on the gas sometimes it shakes like a chattering then it gets back to normal and then all is good...it feels like it is slipping while its chattering i dunno
