Input Bearing NV3500 GM 5 Speed Manual Transmission

I have a GMC G20 Van wiith 6.5L turbo diesel 1998.

Question:  This truck has the GM NV3500HD; Bought this trans new in 2002 and installed into G20 Chev van. Now has 35k mi. It has developed a low "growl" when letting out the clutch in neutral. Pulled clutch shaft bearing and appears OK but will replace it anyhow. I need your part number to order this bearing; it is 23mm wide). Is there any other source of this "growl" in the NV3500HD that I need to attend to ?? I do not find any metal shavings collecting on the magnetic plugs, oil (Redline) is very clean and shifts are perfect. Thanks and advise.
