Default Soft clutch pedal

I've been noticing lately my clutch pedal is extremely soft, if I press on it super lightly there's barely any resistance until it reaches its grab point near the floor. I do hear it squeak sometimes, also when I'm in neutral ready to go into 1st gear, sometimes it'll be hard to get it in first sometimes it'll go easily. Will replace clutch & trans fluid tomorrow, also thinking of doing the sanding to the slave cylinder ball. Thoughts?

I dont know much about these cars but i'd replace the fluid and maybe do a Master Clutch Cylinder replacment if its never been done before. It might be leaking.

The clutch is not adjustable for wear.

Sound like low clutch fluid, and air got in there.

90% of S2000 clutch master cyls leak. Also a 95% chance the leak will stop after fluid replacement, and continued maintenance.

Clean out the res with paper towels, fill up with brake fluid. Bleed may be required.

Replaced the clutch fluid today, it was low and fluid was black. Did 4 cyphon drains until the fluid stayed clear. The clutch does feel smoother as well as the shifts. Any noticeable signs you have air in the system? Also the clutch pedal still feels loose until it gets to its grab point
