Rob,
You can just feel the level of friction on the TO bearing by trying
to start the car with the clutch depressed. The RPMs are markedly
lower, and the stain can be felt on the starter.
It is common also for the RPMs to drop on the engine when the clutch
is depressed.
This says that the frictional loss to the bearing is greater than the
frictional loss to the oil in the tranny.
