Clutch issues

the other day I was driving and I'd push the clutch pedal and some reason the car wouldn't drop the revs and stayed in gear and I'd have to pull the car out of gear then it wouldn't go in gear at all so I shut the car off put it in gear started it and it worked fine again, then this morning I left it in gear started the car and next thing I know it started to drive away even though clutch pedal was pressed
Any ideas? My guess is air in the system

The car started going like you depressed the clutch even tho you didnt? Where you on a hill? If your car starts going when you clutch is pressed in you have some problems. But explain in more detail

Ya I pressed the clutch in, left it in gear turned the key on and the car took off driving, it only happened the one time, but some times clutch works fine, sometimes you gotta press the clutch a few times as it goes in gear sometimes it won't go into gear at all while car is running, seems like to me there's air in the system, if sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, i can come on to it in gear and the clutch holds no slippage

Well if theres air in the system the first thing you should do is try bleeding it.

It also could be that your clutch rod is bent. I bent mine a while back and had to change it out.

Its right behind the clutch pedal but you cannot really see if it's bent easily.

I have replaced that rod last year like 150km before putting it in storage is it easy to get in ther and look at that rod to check? I replaced it last year thinking it was my problem I was having but turned out to be the diapram and I have had a aftermarket clutch in my car sense 2008

I had a clutchmasters stage 3 and it ended up bending the stock rod. I would suggest that you replace it if you notice your clutch not fully disengaging. I believe I got mine from modern performance.
