Should also mention in neutral at a stop, pumping the clutch is smooth. Also low RPM shifting is relatively smooth on the pedal, but it's apparent 2.5K plus.

I'm not saying for sure that it's a bad TOB.
The TOB (on newer cars) is always spinning, (@Ultramaroon learnt me that) as long as the engine is running.
The TOB isn't working (pressure applied to it) unless the clutch pedal is depressed.
If the TOB bearing is bad, or is going bad, it usually makes more of a fuss the higher the RPMs, especially if its under load.
You may wish to review recent threads on clutch problems, for more background information.
I'm sure more armchair mechanics will chime in .......
