I haven't had the clutch adjusted at all. From my little bit of research yes, I did find that those could be some options in resolving this problem, or as I had just gotten off the phone with a friend, maybe the clutch has reached a new level of wear that has become noticeable.

I'll definitely try topping it off first followed by bleeding it to see if that can fix the problem.

Thanks!
If the clutch reached a new level of wear fast enough for you to notice then something is wrong someplace. Wear should not come in noticeable jumps. Once the car is in gear then the clutch has no effect at all on power unless it is really slipping badly in which case you would know it. As said check the fluid level. If really low then crawl under the car and see if you can tell where it went. The level will drop very, very, very, slowly as the clutch wears but if you lose a lot in a short time it went someplace.
