Is the clutch throw-out arm getting close to touching the transmission case a symptom of the clutch going bad?

My clutch works perfectly if I adjust it such that the arm barely touches the case when the clutch pedal is depressed (no reverse gear grinding).

Trying to figure out if I just need to shim the throw-out fork ball with a washer(s), if it's time to replace the clutch or both.

-Thanks-
