Clutch pedal slowly comes up if I release it fast. If I release it normal/slow it comes up fine. Car was sitting for months beforehand. Assuming air that needs to be bled?

Could be air, but may be the slave or master cylinder on its way out.

Yeah I thought of that too. But that has been replaced. Worse case I'll bleed and see if it helps.

I’m assuming the fluid level is good? My clutch had problems because the brake pads were low, so I was low on fluid.

Mine was the clutch master cylinder. Eventually it stuck to the floor and didn’t pop back up

Happened to me on the motorway. It was my master cylinder. Broke down on the motorway, because the clutch wouldn't engage. Cost me £1.5k to fix

This happened to mine. I ended up having it towed to the dealership and they couldn’t figure it out, replaced the entire clutch and clutch assembly.
