I am NO WAY that knowledgable on that part. But the side forces
on the tip of the input shaft are near zero. THe clutch fork
travels in an arc, and the two fingers that live in the TO
bearing groove do traverse back and forth around the input
shaft centerline a WEE bit. Though that's on the sleeve on the
bearing retainer, it's likely to transmit some TINY force to
the input shaft, and since you're only talking about a little
squealy noise, that's all that would be needed.

If it is something of that sort, it's annoying but un-harmful,
at least. But it's like the clicks and groans in my Hornet and
Classic's suspension, it bugs the crap out of me even when I
know it's harmless.
