So my winter tires are now installed and inflated to 38 psi front & 35 psi rear. I will put them at 45 psi all around probably. I will also reinstall my rear fender skirts.

Since now ~2 weeks, my clutch seems to be really weird. When I start in reverse with the foot on the clutch, the car starts to backup and it is impossible to shift without shutting off the engine then restart in neutral. EVERY time I shift I have to press the clutch 1-2 times before going into gear because it doesn't want to go in if I try without pumping the clutch. The first gear is starting to act like the reverse when my engine is very cold.

I filled my fluid reservoir with brake fluid to the MAX line but I think there is air bubbles in the lines. The level was so low that I suspect there might be a leak...
