Hmm.. clutch and shifting problems...

Hi all,
On our 1991 900S 5speed, the clutch pedal has periodically had a weird catch about halfway as you let the clutch out, as if suddenly the clutch dumps out on you and engages right away, instead of being more gradual as you let the clutch out. Then, my sister tries to go to meet a friend and the car keeps stalling. In fact, unless the clutch pedal is depressed completely and as hard as she could push it to the floor, it would try to engage and stall the car. She also couldn't get the gear selector out of first for a while. Then, she managed to get going without stalling, the car shifted fine and smoothly for a while, and then suddenly it stopped working again and the same symptoms reappeared.
My father and I have guessed that the clutch slave cylinder is going -- are we on track with this? Insight/diagnosis would be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Tim B.
