I would check for possible leaks in the system. If it was fine and then just started I would suspect a leak or a clutch master failing. Check to see if you have full travel at the slave cylinder.

Check to see if you have full travel at the slave cylinder. Could be internal failure in the clutch master. You could also adjust the pedal free play and monitor it.

The clutch is self adjusting. I would be looking at a new clutch master in addition to that you will also need to adjust the pedal play when the clutch master is replaced.

did you adjust the piston on the master cylinder so that it lines up perfectly with the bracket on the pedal arm?
