This definitely sounds like a hydraulic issue.
The clutch/brakes system should be flushed if maintenance has been neglected (it’s super easy, just did mine last night in under an hour). A power bleeder makes all the difference. Motive is the popular brand and they run between $50-$70. I built my own for ~$20 with a $5 hand sprayer from Harbor Freight.
Be sure to follow the correct procedure for both the clutch and brakes (clutch pedal needs to be fully depressed when bleeding).
