The chafing noise is likely the throw-out bearing. At some point, that will likely become a problem, but you might go another 50k miles before it actually fails. Or it could go next week, but I really doubt it. I just the replaced the OEM clutch in my 1995 900S a couple of months ago at 175k miles and it was only maybe 1/2 worn. If I were you, I'd avoid leaving the clutch pedal depressed for extended periods, like when you're at a red light, shift to neutral and release the clutch. That's something everyone driving a stick should practice anyhow.
As far a changing the clutch, it's a somewhat major DIY project. Where I would rate the C900's as a one-beer job, you'll want a full case to do the same on the NG900/OG9-3's.
