I was going to grind metal off the clutch fork it self, not the clip.

The throwout bearing didn't slide in the fork through out the travel of the fork. It believe having the having the distance wrong was the main problem. When the clutch fork is suppose to be parallel with the flywheel it has the most pressure applied and when it not parallel it has little pressure allied. I'm thinking that since the throwout bearing fits so tightly in the fork that it angles the throwout bearing on the bearing retainer... causing it to hang up and gall... and bend the throw out bearing, which is a first.
