Me and the big headed wonder have discussed this many times and we are convinced it is the dry grease on the splines. Unfortunately even if you don’t need a clutch it might be dumb to not replace it while the trans is out.

I live a long way from Porsche workshops so second opinions are almost impossible. 
I picked the car up a couple of days ago and I'm cautiously optimistic that it's been fixed. I've parked the car on a couple of hills and it has behaved itself. The new clutch (or new grease?) seems to have been the cure. The workshop didn't find a smoking gun.
I inspected the used parts afterwards and didn't see anything wrong with them. There was some life left on the disc however I still think it needed to be replaced. The new clutch is *FEATHER* light and much the car is significantly easier to get away from a standing start.

The price for the clutch and labour was about $2200 USD.
I am in Australia, so keep this in mind when comparing prices with US workshops.
