Default Clutch all of the sudden grabs low????

Well, I just noticed this today when I went out to do some errands. My clutch all of the sudden grabs really low to the ground. I barely even have to release it and it catches. What could this mean? Is it time for a new one? It's the stock clutch in my gsr hatch hybrid.

also, check your fluid level.

look at your clutch fluid. is it all nasty and black? chances are there are some contaminants and/or air in the line.

I'll check out the fluid and see what it looks like. It's been a while since it got drained, it might need just that. Yes it's a hydro clutch.
