Because you were kind enough to ask, i took some pictures for you.

Here is the Pedal and Master cylinder out of the Car and apart.




When you slide the master cylinder through the firewall onto the pedal it looks somthing like this.



Now, when people say "to adjust the pedal/clutch" they are talking about this fork and threaded stud. Here it is all the way extended.



And all the way threaded in.




After everything is setup, you should have a "dead zone" at the top of the pedal about a 1/4". If it is tight all the way up, it may be too far extended, and halfway engaging the clutch.



So, it may have been too far engaged, and when replacing the mastercylinder, you readjusted the play during the install.... Hence no need to replace in the first place, just an adjustment. When the master cylinder goes bad, the clutch does not slip, it fails to disengage.
