Help w/ Clutch Issues

Is it slipping at all, or is it just weird pedal feel? You might want to bleed it to see if the pedal feel improves before you start buying new parts.

I kinda feel it slipping but I can't tell if it's just me trying to be gentle shifting and trying to drive smoothly because of the strange pressure...Could it be a throwout bearing?

Plan on bleeding the lines this week.

The bearing itself would make noise whenever you press on clutch pedal even lightly. That said if the clutch engages at a very low point then many times air is in the system. Bad and mainly boiling fluid injects air. Moreover worn seals in the csc or cmc let's air in. As mentioned bleeding is the first thing to do. When in second or third gear try heavy acceleration and if engine speed rises quicker then the speed of the car then clutch is slipping. Usually a worn clutch disc is also accompanied by a very high pedal engagement.
