OK, so they fixed the problem as mentioned above, they replaced:

Boot, Fork, Release Bearing, Clip, Boot, Gasket, and changed the tranny fluid.

Everything was fine for a few weeks.

Then it started up again. Not as bad as before, but similar sypmtoms, and they're gradually getting worse. It's intermittent again, so it's very difficult to get the dealership to realize the problem. I had my third test drive with them today with someone there that had an FRS, and he 'felt' something but doesn't think it's outside of normal. Hes going to drive a couple other FRS's today and they're going to get back to me, but I can read the writing on the wall...

I've given up on them taking responsibility for it, the car is no longer under warranty, so I'm going to wait for it to get worse and then just get it fixed myself.

Does anyone know what it might be? I'm thinking maybe the release bearing damaged the shaft, so now the shaft is causing the frictiony feeling? Or else the new bearing is already toast? which I don't think is possible. Any other ideas?
