I wouldn't really think a worn out clutch could cause either the slave or master cylinder to fail...

Unless it's affecting the reset of the pedal... letting the piston return too far... although I think in that direction the cylinder would be OK.

I'm at a loss... I don't know what would cause it to blow a brand new slave cylinder... but if the clutch is gone... you're gonna need a new one. Saw the part for around $400 something... can't cost too much to have installed. Make them show you the old clutch, tho.
