Default How to know if your clutch is going bad?

lately ive notice my clutch is softer then usual.

when i first got it. it felt like brand new but maybe im just used to it.

some thing little things ive done to try to diagnose just reading around.

is going from first to second hitting 30mph and going straight to 4th gear

sometimes it grinds but it picks up the car up just fine with rpm and spd matching.

should there be anything else i should be looking at? maybe i need to bleed clutch? the history is unknown on clutch. but as far as i know the motor came out of 97 acura gsr with tranny. unknown mileage

any idea guys? or should i just take it to a shop and ask

Does it slip? I don't think a shop would even charge you to check it , just do that

Absolutely bleed the system first. Do that and report back.

Could be the master/slave cylinder going bad also.
