5-speed tranny, high mileage report.

My previous car, 9000 2,3T 5-speed and 250'km would sometimes pop out of 2nd gear during acc.
Now, I drive a 9-5 2,3 LPT with 5-speed and it has 285'km on the speedo. Clutch was replaced by previous owner at 135' km. I bought the car at 265' one year ago and the tranny felt smooth. But, I do have a whining noise at low speed when the car is cold (-10 C)and it may be difficult putting it in 2nd (all times but harder when cold). There is no noise comming from the tranny when this happens. It feels like it's in gear put nothing happens and I have to try again. This winter the clutch just disappeared at -10 C after 50 km on highway. Replaced the master cylinder (cheapest) first and it seemed to be OK, and changed the fluid as well. But the tranny doesn't feel as smooth anymore and I also notice shifting from 3'rd to 5'th gives cranking noise. Two weeks ago I just about managed to clutch to change gear at startup. Pumping the pedal a few times gives life back to the clutch. I suspect the slave cylinder is starting to fail and my questions are:
1. Is the problem with second gear linkage problem? If so, how to fix it?
2. If the slave cylinder isn't working properly, can it give gear selection problem even though the clutch seems to be free?
3. Changing slave is a lot of work and I might replace the tranny/clucth. Anyone know which year/model would fit.
