In my case, it appeared to be a lubrication failure, the balls got rusty,
then rough, then started spalling away. I put off changing it for a long
time, the balls eventually "went away" completely and the heat generated by
the two races rubbing against each caused the sleeve to seize to the gearbox
nose.
However, driving without a clutch is one of those "essential skills" for a
TR owner, so it still came home under it's own power <g>
