I have the exact same problem with my tranny. It first started on my old T5 with around 85000 miles on it. I replaced it myself and then put in a super duty T5. The problem cambe back soon after. It also goes away when I very very slightly push in the clutch. Now I have 150000 miles and its at the point where I know the bearing will come apart soon (sounds like a banshee under your car). I read somewhere once that its caused by a misalignment in the shaft. I think it was between the back of the motor and the bell housing. I don't know about you guys but I think I'll just plop in another T/O bearing from Autozone and live with it for another 60000. Maybe tightening the cable from the get go (just a touch) will prevent subsequent wear from occuring to where it makes no difference anymore.
