Sticky, strange clutch action - Master Cylinder?

[finestjammy]

Hi All

On the way to the office this morning and all of a sudden the clutch felt really strange. Sticky and not smooth when lifting up, made it very difficult to engage. No hint of slip prior to this happening. It stalls instantly if you pop it in fifth and pop the clutch up. Master cylinder do you think? The car is under extended warranty, anyone know if the master/slave is covered under warranty? I know the clutch and release bearing isn't, but wasn't sure about the cylinders. I'll go, ahem, a different route if they're not covered.

Thanks.

James.

Scrap all that. Just had a little run and the clutch is definitely slipping! A bit of throttle in second gear and the revs spin up.
