Default Clutch issues maybe

I noticed my clutch won't engage till the top of the pedal, it's the stock 01 clutch and the car has 68,000 miles so could this be due to a worn clutch? Also today I dropped the clutch and got the car sideways just playing a little and the pedal got really soft. I was just wondering if these were symptoms of a worn out clutch. This is my first car with a hydraulic set-up so I don't really know how the pedal should feel once the clutch gets worn out. Thanks for any help!

The engagement at top is probably a worn clutch. The soft pedal is usually hydraulic related in these cars with the way the hydro system is desinged. You may need a new clutch. If you get a new clutch be sure to also replace your slave cylinder and completely flush and replace your hydro system. Also be sure to perform the drill mod on the mater braided line restrictor.

Thanks, I thought it was being the clutch wasn't engaging till the top of the pedal. I'll go ahead and order a fidanza flywheel while I'm at it.
