Hello there I know there's a bunch of clutch related posts but I feel mine is different.
Okay my car is early 95 WRX ej20 with TD05H
Pretty sure the gearbox and clutch is factory.
Car was driving fine and everything but then I had to put the car into storage and was not driven for like 6 months.
After 6 months I needed to move the car and noticed some issues with the clutch.
It would stick to the floor and would come up if I pressed it a few times. It would be intermittent issue not every time but lots
Clutch would press in and stay there but it would come up if I pushed on it a few times.
I thought it would be the clutch but now I'm reading it could simply be air in the lines or bad master cylinder???
Would the fact the car was not used for months and stored affect the fluid in the clutch lines?
Should I get a professional to bleed the clutch or what do you think I don't want to go out and buy new master or slave if it's not needed?
Thank you sir.
Need some help guys

Replace the flexible hose at the slave cylinder.
If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?

If you're in a really humid environment, the fluid can pull the humidity out of the air, tainting the fluid. When I did a stint of work up in the pilbara, the policy was never to open the brake or clutch master cylinders to check the fluid level on daily prestarts, just due to high humidity. But like Jase has said, look at the slave flex line first.

MY00 Red RX, a nice daily that was sold off once the B4 became reliable...
MY02 Blue B4, aka 'The Project' - v8 JDM STi engine package and assorted other 'goodies' - Sold, then bought back for parts. Stripped and crushed.
MY03 Blue RX, the newer old daily, pretty well more B4 than RX now... In the process of being converted to the track toy... Watch this space!
MY02 Silver Wagon, H6 conversion, full blue/black leather and almost full black interior to go with it. In process of being stripped and sold off.
MY03 White/Silver H6 Outback, donor car for silver waghoon. Scrapped.
MY97 Silver RX, acquired to become track car, but plans changed. Scrapped.
MY13 BRG, current daily, very nice to drive, small mods to make it even nicer again.
