Clutch Sticking, slow to come back up

[bassjas12]

My clutch started sticking the other day, and takes a second to come back up. This happened to me a while back(8 months or so) and eventually stopped working all together. I ended up replacing the Master and Slave cylinder and all was well again until 2 nights ago. I have not been driving it since it happened, but not sure what could be up. It seems too soon for the Master and/or Slave cylinder to have gone bad again. Is there something else that could be causing this. Was going to bleed the lines a bit this weekend to make sure there is just not a bubble or something causing an issue. There is still fluid in the reservoir, so don't think i got a leak anywhere.

Thanks for the help!

or... if it is the master and slave cylinder, what could cause those to go bad so quick (less than a year)

Maybe the whole clutch assembly? or the release bearing/pressure plate? Just throwing stuff out there. I am interested to see what it is

about to start messing with it, so ill let you know. thanks for the reply

** UPDATE **
-bled the clutch line a lot while adding fluid as I went to avoid any bubbles.
-When the car is off, the pedal will snap right back, but when i drive it sticks

any ideas anyone?

Master cyclinder is bad. The pressure plate provides some rebound for your clutch but for the most part is the slave is leaking internally it will not rebound.

You called it. Got it looked at and replaced. Also flushed the brake system (brake / clutch fluid was turning brown). Just sucks because i replaced the master about 8 months ago.
