I had a similar problem with the same symptoms recently in the 71 we have with a t56. I rebuilt the master cylinder and bled everything out and that fixed the problem. With factory stuff you cant rebuild, you just replace. I came to the conclusion rebuilding the master because 1 it was cheaper, 2 Ive never seen a slave go bad that didn't leak the fluid out. Generally the slaves fail first but like I said without leak the fluid I didn't think it was bad.

In the end it worked, not sure if I did the proper diag on it. Doing it again I would have started with a bleed and the go on.
