Thanks! Yeah, it's something that can be overlooked. Since I didn't take the fork off, it didn't even cross my mind.

It matters what input you're giving the car. If you're pressing the clutch, then it's likely the TOB. If you're off the clutch, the TOB shouldn't be touching anything, so it must be something else, in this case, the clutch fork not being greased.
If it's been around for years, then nobody has posted about it because I searched for a long time and only found threads talking about bad TOBs.
