Not the T/O bearing, but the face of the pressure plate where the t/o 
rides was crooked. One pressure plate finger was out of adjustment.
I yanked the trans this morning and it was visible.
Fixed it with a twist of a wrench (once I figured out how) and popped 
the trans back in.
Clutch works like it should and I took it for it's second drive.
No more water in the face from a loose rad hose clamp, and I can shift 
it normally.
