I had forgotten about this post. I tinkered for a while just jiggling the fork to get it to quit squeaking but it kept coming back. Then, out of desperation, I moved the slave out of the way and removed the dust boot from the bell housing. Feeling around in there I discovered I could just barely get my finger on the main pivot.

I smeared a little gob of grease in there as best as I could and poof, squeak eliminated.

I still say transmission should be dropped to really get in there, inspect everything, and do it right but this'll do for now.
