I noticed my clutch started slipping a couple of weeks ago. Then I started noticing after shifting and releasing the clutch that the shifter would pop out of gear more often. Last night I was at a light and pressed the clutch to the floor and tried to shift into 1st and it would not budge until I released the clutch and pressed it back down again. Are these all signs of a dying clutch or do I possibly have another issue going on as well?

Most of those problems sound like a clutch for sure but the popping out of gear may be synco's.

fluid level

check on the passenger side of trannys there is a plug in the side that is a 3/8 ratch will open and fluid should be up to the hole now there is two its the top one dont remove the lower one buts I agree with hotrodnut the syncos are bad.
