Could be the slave, or if you just serviced it maybe it's still full of air? But if the peddle is only going 1/2 way down and the clutch isn't releasing you have other problems. Could be that you don't have the slave properly engaused into the release fork? Maybe throwout bearing is hanging up or maybe the clutch fork is bent/broken.

Also sounds like you and your dad are just calling the same part different names. The Master unit mounts under the dash, the slave to the trans. Normally when they go bad they go to the floor and the clutch doesn't release. If you depress the clutch with the slave not installed in the trans the pressure will force the rod out of the end of the cylinder, damaging the case or seals. You can pull the slave out and have someone SLOWLY and GENTLY push in the clutch slightly to see if it's working. BUT BE CAREFULL!
