It could be that the clutch pedal itself is wearing where it connects to the
slave cylinder shaft clevis. Unfortunately, the only way to check it is to
remove the pedal assembly and dashboard.
I have a description of the problem and how I fixed it on my website at:
http://home.earthlink.net/~tjhannink/drivetrain.htm. , then scroll to the
bottom of the page.
