Default Clutch master cylinder

It seems after 600 miles my Clutch master cylinder has gone the way others have.
It is leaking on the inside of the foot well, by the pedal.
So I take it that the seal is gone and it's leaking down the connector rod (rod between pedal & clutch piston).

So looking at replacements I have a few questions.
I think I will use one that has a remote reservoir like the link below, since I have plenty of remote reservoir's from motorcycles lying about my garage, and it will make maintance a lot easier.

But, my car also has a problem, where once hot, the clutch works for s**t, the heat shield I made helped a lot, but it still has a problem of reverse. It's impossible to get into reverse without grinding after 50 or so miles.
Is this a common problem, or just one that I am having? I’m sure it’s because the clutch is not engaging correctly or fully. So I am wondering if I should replace the slave cylinder to a better quality one at the same time.

I realize it’s not a direct fit, and I will have to make a bracket / mount for it.

Any thoughts on the subject, since I know a few of you have gone through the same problem?

Thanks,
Shaun
