I am able to feel a very slight feedback in the clutch pedal between every shift that was not there a few thousand klicks ago. It's weird because the noise will get more audible as the engine warms up. I won't even be able to hear the grinding the first few minutes driving around when the engine is cold. Absolutely no squeaks with the clutch actuation and no sounds when the car is sitting idle or when I rev the engine at a standstill. I'm at about 90k km or 55k miles.
All of what you described is the exact opposite of when mine went. I would still be suspicious of the TOB when you get any strange noise while operating the clutch though. The symptoms of failure may not happen exactly the same for all of us.
