Clutch pedal keeps getting softer and softer, but no slippage

Try bleeding your slave/master cylinder for your clutch. If that doesnt help at all my guess would probly be your pressure plate is getting worn and losing tension.

You might be sucking air into your hydraulics. Check the reservoir cap first. Then bleed it. After that you might have to remove the hydraulics and closely inspect the lines and connections for any leaks.
