After doing brake work (MC, wheel cyls.
shoes/hardware, steel line) on my van, I noticed the
MC would go to floor engine cold. I didn't **recall**
it doing that before. Maybe it did..... Strange what
we notice once we pay out of the ordinary attention to
how things feel/perform/smell..... Regardless brakes
ok now though I hear a bit of grinding somewhere. Ack!
It's always something!

If clutch engages half way up, or further up in pedal
travel, it may just be that clutch is worn more than
you thought or noticed before. If it works and doesn't
slip, grab, shudder etc., then no worries.

Of course you will have to replace it.
Someday.........

Neil.
