Quick Update:

I can replicate the issue when backing the car out of the driveway. When the car is at an angle, the clutch starts engaging early. However, on a level surface, the clutch engages normally. Still can't wrap my head around the cause of this. Maybe there's air in the system? If so, bleeding it should solve the issue. Hopefully, everything works out and I'll have time to do it soon.

Exactly what I was doing yesterday lol. I was beginning to panic thinking that something broke but she still drives fine (other than the engagement thing) and fluid still has not dropped.

Sounds like there's an air bubble in there someplace. I'd give the gravity bleed a try. Maybe have the car on an angle at the time (front end raised higher than rear).

That's how I bled the clutch last time. Is it recommended to have the car level? I saw a post that just had the front half off the ground. This time, I'm going to focus more on being slow with the pumping. We probably started slacking towards the end and just wanted to finish the job.

I've always had the car level because its easier to get under it that way. Pumping slow is a must otherwise you aerate the fluid.

Finally got around bleeding the clutch. The issue still persists and now I believe I have a softer pedal. According to my brother, it's heavier than before so I really don't know anymore lol.
