The bushing doe shave a reputation for wearing out over time. You can easily replace it without pulling the clutch.
You need to remove the clutch slave and the air filter housing, then from the top you should be able to slide the clutch arm off the ball stud. This will allow you to slip on a new bushing. Replace the arm and re-install the slave cyclinder and air filter. Should be able to complete the entire job in less than one hour including a beer.

There are 3 most likely possible causes for your issue:
- The bushing on top of the clutch arm is disintegrating or missing
- The guide tube bolts are getting loose and are hitting the coupler
- The release bearing is dying
Oh, and as has been already mentioned, you do not have to remove/disassemble the clutch to replace the arm bushing. You may have to manually pull the arm and install pressure plate shims though.

I showed this to a guy who didn't believe in the Porsche tranny one day on a ride through the back roads. The only time I used the clutch was to start off in first gear, for about a half an hour ride of chifting repeatedly.
"Finess".......... a little does not hurt.
