Clutch pedal feels like a wet noodle.
I've searched a ton of times and still can't seem to fix this. I got in my car the other morning and the pedal just went straight to the ground, and the engagement point was an inch off the floor. I tried adjusting it via the 12mm nut and it made the engagement point a little higher up, but the clutch still doesn't feel right. It no longer feels direct and i can't necessarily feel exactly where it engages/disengages. anyone have any input on this before i bring her in to the shop? (MY01)

More than likely, your fluid level in your clutch master cylinder is extremely low. I'd top it off for now, and try and find out if it's leaking somewhere or if your slave cylinder is on its way out.

If your clutch fluid is low, you will need to bleed the clutch. Just adding fluid won't help much. You will need to get the air out of the line.

Just had the same issue. both the clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder were leaking. Adding fliud will not help, you must fix the leak. If you replace the master cylinder, it is a good idea to replace the slave cylinder as well or vise versa. Luckily it was under warranty. The clutch pedal is much stiffer now
