I noticed my clutch pedal feeling light yesterday, checked the fluid and it was exteremely low. Added a little DOT 3and4 today, took it for a test drive and noticed more problems. Also, even with pumping the pedal it did not get tight again, do I need to bleed the lines?

The shifter rattles when shifting now, or moving it; the clutch engages extremely quickly and hard when redlining, and there seems to be a whine from the tranny, but not sure.

The car is an 02 with 82,000 miles, had it for about 10,000 never replaced the clutch but felt like an aftermarket as I had driven a stock one before. Changed tranny and diff fluids couple months back too.

I have thought the clutch has been shifting when redlining previously, there was a delay before it would engage going from 2nd to 3rd sometimes.

Sorry for the long post, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
