Default clutch slipping/problems

hello-

My clutch is going bad, and Id like an input as to some possible causes.

The symptoms:
-Clutch pedal engages very close to the floor, lost some pressure in it
-Impossible to get into or out of gear when the car is on
-If I start the car with it in gear, and keep my foot on the clutch, the car lurches foward like im engaging the clutch

thats pretty much it. I added some clutch fluid to the resevoir and noticed a little difference in pedal feel, and the car drove for about 1/4 mile, then it started acting up again

Any ideas on what to look for when I open it up? TOB? Pressure plate? Leak/bubble in the line?

Thanks!

could be bubbles in the line. flush it out before you go on, besides it's the least expensive route you can go.

yea, if it's a hydro clutch (which i'm sure it is), check your fluid. if it's low, check for leaks. fix any broken parts, bleed the clutch cylinder, and make any necessary adjustments.
