Bad Throwout Bearing?

Howdy folks,

Ran my Fit a week or so ago at Road America for a track day. Car ran great all day! Except for after the 3rd or 4th session (cant remember exactly), the clutch started engaging super low, right off the floor.

For some backstory, I installed Seb's CDV delete line this winter and this was the car's first event after that. Bled the clutch with Motul RBF600 DOT4 brake fluid and the clutch felt great. Even a slightly higher engagement point that with the CDV in it. Prior to that the clutch was pretty normal. Engaged probably 4-5" off the floor. With the new line in, maybe 5-6". After the track day, it's maybe 1-2" off the ground.

Car drove the 2 hours home without issue. I got home and bled the clutch again. Fluid looked just fine and it wasn't low. No leaks. But the pedal still engages really low.

Car has 265k miles on it. No idea how old the clutch is. I bought the car about 15 months ago and have really only tracked it. Anyone have similar experiences or possible causes? I'm not opposed to doing a clutch replacement, I know how. Just don't wanna open that can of worms if I don't have to.

Thanks!
