Default What would a bad clutch master cylinder do?

the story is too long to go into, but if you've read my previous posts you'll know what I'm talking about. Here's a pic of the clutch after 3000 miles.

Would act as if I were riding the clutch?

no, opposite. It will not allow you from disengaging the clutch - so you can't shift or grind gears

Default Replacing the master cylinder didn't fix the problem, can someone shed some light on this?

to reitterate:

brand new clutch gets burned up(slightly toasted relatively speaking) w/ flywheel in ~3000mi.

Another new clutch is in this afternoon, it slips

Replace clutch master cylinder, no change

What now?
