#1: my clutch likes to change when its gunna engage and often if it will disengage

example: sitting at a stop light with my foot on the pedal i start rolling forward and my car stalls out and other times im chillin at the stop light and i go to pull forward and it engages after one inch of travel and it bucks and im like what the ****


#2: when i am about to lose traction my brake light comes on right before the rear tires start squeeling and this morning i took a 20 mph turn at 40 and it came on and stayed on and now its off. anybody?

also make sure the system isnt leaking or anything, might just have to only tighten up a few areas.

Maybe the brakes are fading? I know when the material starts to wear down on the pads you start using up fluid to compensate but when you put new pads on there and reset the caliper all that fluid goes right back up so that's why you're supposed to drain fluid as you reset the caliper.

Talk about a run-on sentence!

Brake light is probably coming on during cornering due to low fluid level. Top it off and you should be good with that part of your issue...
