Default master cylinder?

my friend has a 96 probe gt 5 spd. he is stupid and put power steering fluid in the brake fluid reservoir which is also the clutch reservoir on that car. would the power steering fluid cause the master cylinder to go out? we replaced the slave cylinder and bled the lines and when the car is running the brakes and clutch go to the floor with barely any effort and the clutch will not engage. there was no signs of clutch wear and the car will not go into gear. if its not the master cylinder what could it be?

I recommend that you first bleed the system more. A small amount of air will cause a hydraulic system to malfunction. For Civics, the wheels must be bled in a specific order. Start by bleeding components farthest from the master cylinder. Did you bleed the slave cylinder?
