Trans/Clutch/Vac issue, Trouble Shoot Ideas? Options

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

I've had some issues with my transmissions (2) and clutches (3) in this car before. I think I may be on to something now though. I notice that the car only has shifting problems while shifting at low rpms. And I also notice that the car seems to brake a little weak if I don't keep rpms high enough. And, if I am having trouble getting the car to go into gear, I rev it up a couple times and it will go. I know that the clutch and the brake cylinder are one in the same. Now, my question is, how should I go about it from here? If it's a vac leak, I would expect a higher regular rpm. I don't think a master cylinder would just mostly work for this long, it would just brake, right? Before I just go at it, does anyone have any ideas? Thank guys.

if it were a vac leak you would have a noticeable idle quality issue and normaly youll have the service engine soon lamp on due to a lean condition sensed by the 02 sensor as far as the shifting goes if your trying to shift at tooooo low an rpm the syncronzers will actually have to speed up the next gear instead of slowing it enough for engagement not too sure of the issue your haveing but maybe it wil help some
