It seems to shift fine, but the pedal is just really light.. starting off in first is a little different too, like i need to give it a bit more gas, but after that its fine..

The shudder the car made was really quite weird, is it possible I hit the redline in first and this caused the car to kind of shutdown? Maybe it wasn't the clutch as much as the engine? But still, the pedal feels lighter.

It's never done it before. The car has 174,000 kms, and I have no idea if the clutch has ever been replaced. I just dread that a light pedal is a sign that the something is about to go.
