Have problems w/clutch causing power failure when depressed along with metal grinding noise that includes emergency brake light coming on.  
  
  
  
 Suspect worn master/slave cylinder as source. had clutch recently replaced.  
  
  
  
 Any ideas would be welcomed.

I When was the last time you replace the brakes? I'd bet they need replaced. However I don't understand:

clutch causing power failure when depressed ? emergency brake light coming on.

That is a bit confusing, if you have a power failure how does the E-brake light come on?

Did you replace the throwout bearing when you changed out the clutch?
