Yeah.  Release shaft would tend to describe it.  It goes across the bell
housing and has two arms that stick down.  Those arms actuate the T/O
bearing.  When new, the bearing rests against a nice gentle curve.  As
the van builds up miles, the curve wears away and becomes more angular,
allowing the bearing to rock back and forth as it makes contact.
