So I just flushed my brake fluid, and I swear my clutch pedal feels different now. Am I crazy or could my brake fluid flush have effected the fluid in the clutch cylinders/lines?

I know the brakes and clutch share the same reservoir, but I didn’t touch anything other than the caliper bleed valves and the reservoir cap (I don’t even know where the clutch bleed valve is).

The clutch still preforms the same as far as I can tell after a few 0-80 pulls, but I think the engagement feeling in the clutch pedal feels softer.

The clutch slave cylinder has a bleeder, and it's on the front of the transmission. I don't have pics, but if you drop the metal under tray like when you do an oil change, it's pretty easy to find. I'd recommend opening it and running some fresh fluid through it.
